They "click" OK, but don't pass current between the 2 large posts. If I was to check them out, I think I'd jack up the rear wheels, then slowly press the accelerator pedal and see if the wheel speed increases correspondingly. If not, short out the suspect solenoids to test them. Or, use a voltmeter to check.
This is good advice. Once you get the cart wired like the diagrams show, this is the conventional method of troubleshooting I was talking about.
