Default Looking for a wiring diagram Melex 745 1988

I have a Melex model 745 that was made in 11/14/1988. Of course I was told that this is an EZ GO copy. What I cannot find is a wiring diagram that corresponds to my cart for the same year of an EZ GO.

I am in the process of cleaning up the burnt and cracked wiring and moved on to some of the control wiring. The wires I cut ended up not being the wires i thought they were when I went to connect to the new wires. i removed two blue wires from the post of the solenoid with the POSITIVE battery wire connected to it. I removed what I thought was the same two blue wires on the F/R contactors. It appears that two of those blue wires were from the key switch.

Now I need some help... The more I look the more it seems like someone hasn't wired this correctly but I am new to wiring carts.

Cart was working before I touched it today. I attached pictures of the controller, solenoid, F/R, ect. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Think it's the same wiring as the 512 E. Been searching diagrams for hours.

That's probably it. Compare it to be sure. I think Melex was the first to come out with a controller cart. That looks like a Curtis of some description.

Need to investigate the Pot Box but everything else looks to be correct. The back up WA was removed so that should explain the wires that are not connected to anything. Once I get back to work and reconnect the key switch wiring and solenoid wiring i will know for sure. Frustrating to say the least (mostly because I know better), but now I know much more about my cart then I did before.

I post tonight after I get back from work and rewire.

Contactor isn't pulling in on the Pot box. Previously, when the key was switched on the contactor pulled in and heard the "click". only difference i see is there is no WA when the cart is in reverse. Need any suggestions or point me to the correct thread if possible. Thanks.

What type pot box/throttle does it have? Can't tell from the diagram.

WA I assume is the reverse buzzer?

Look at the fourth picture from my first post. Maybe I am calling it the wrong name. Good news, after staring at the drawing I figured out that I had the wire from the key switch on the wrong terminal on the F/R module. It runs again! Notes on the wiring diagram: All the same but the pot box appear to be different. Might just be my understanding of the drawing and symbols. Thanks for the help!! Any suggestions for moving forward on rewiring the cart please let me know. Don't want to go through that again... Learned from my mistake though.
