Thanks Dave! Crash is a seasoned golf cart tech... who made an embarassing mistake as evidenced by his response:
"..... Scotty I looked at it for like 10 minutes and didn't pay attention to 36 or 48 volts.
You telling me this is a 48V cart and I overlooked the basic 1st rule?
Well don't I look like a newbie pud knocker.
Would low pack voltage not hold the relay in and cause this?......"

I think he knows the old 2v per hole battery rule of thumb... even if he is ...'a newbie pud knocker'
