2001 48V Series cart won't move

Here's my original post:

In either forward or reverse, when I push the gas pedal, I can hear a clicking sound and the voltage meter drops from 50.8 to 50.6. It really seems like the motor is getting power. I've jacked up the back end and rotated the tires by hand. No issues there. Everything spins fine. What do I check next?

I posted this last week, but I got hit hard by Irma and couldn't get to the cart. Here's where I'm at now:

NoleFan4Ever suggested I test the solenoid. Here are my results: The large post had 50.3 volts and the small post had 48.6 volts. When I pushed the gas pedal, I heard a click and the small post jumped up to 50.3 volts. I also shorted the solenoid posts with an old battery cable and the cart still didn't move.

What's my next step?
