I'm new to the site and new to golf carts! I just bought a 98 ez go textron golf cart, we replaced the batteries and tried to start it up. It would not go so I did some looking and found the solenoid was hooked up backwards. I installed the new one and thought I had wired it up correctly but drove off and about a mile from the house it quit. I checked the solenoid and it was very hot and not making the clicking sound. I've looked at several wiring diagrams but I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any ideas on what to try next? Thanks
