1998 Club Car DS with 48V Regen system, power sometimes shuts off, no click on, etc

Hello all

I have been reading this forum for a bit now trying to find information on how to solve the problem with this cart, solenoid no click on problem.

It also has a lift kit with larger knobby tires. Why did we wait so long to do this kit....

I have since replaced both solenoids with this:

I put back on the coil resistor on the 2nd regen solenoid.

The 1st solenoid did not have a resistor to begin with, so I do not have it on currently. Also, I do not think this one had a diode either.

The solenoid problems I was having are largely fixed. But the car will still sometimes not "click" and go, and I have to switch the tow/run switch to get the solenoids to click.

I have read it needs a solenoid resistor to pre-charge the controller capacitors or something...

I have also read of a solenoid inductor back voltage when letting off the pedal, which a diode across the solenoid remedies...

Before I jack this thing up again and try something new to troubleshoot... anyone have any ideas? Thanks

BTW here are some diagrams I found online:
