No smoke smell now, no cables that look like they burnt. Yes, with the key on, in forward or reverse in "run" mode, not "tow", the solenoid clicks. I can see why the voltage reads 50 on both sides, because you have that 240 ohm resistor across the solenoid large wires, which would leak 208 milliamps of current, enough to make my meter show 50 volts on both sides, but that small current might be irrelevant to the current being switched on by the solenoid to run the motor. It looks like the boundary conditions on the controller are all in place, but the controller isn't controlling.

No, that resistor doesn't get hot.

Shadowman, does any part of your instruction to NASCARprints on how to test a 95 cart controller apply to this 06 cart? Connecting any part of the solenoid output to a battery ground sounds dangerous on the 06 cart, since the solenoid has 50 volts going in.
