Does the solenoid click when you press the gas? If not, check the solenoid activation circuit.

A quick overview of the solenoid is :
The solenoid is a HD on/off switch or Contactor
The connection is made /broken between the 2 large terminals. The 2 small terminals are the activation circuit. Typically one terminal will have a constant negative connection to the pack or controller B-. When Positive power is applied to the second small terminal the contact is drawn up against the spring to make contact. When power from either side of the activation circuit is removed then contact is released and the spring pushes it away interrupting the circuit ...It doesn't matter which small terminal is neg or pos on the activation circuit so long as you have both present the solenoid should click closed....
