Sometimes Jumping a Sloenoid causes more trouble than it solves. There is enough amperage to weld with under the seat of an electric golf cart. I say this because a lot people are too quick to suggest jumping the solenoid to a novice mechanic. In this case the solenoid was already Clicking which means it was working in 99.9% of the cases........now it is not.
First you have to understand what a solenoid is and how it works.
It is a simple high voltage switch between the large posts.
It is actuated by positive & negative current at the small posts.
It is likely you no longer have the pos and/or the neg at the activation circuit.

They made 2 drive systems in '93 we need to know if your cart has resistor coils behind the batteries?

Thanks for your quick response, it has NO resistor coils behind the batteries.

Check to see if old solinoid is bad (NOW) if so replace (with new Heavy Duty
While you are at it) .
