Welcome to the forum!
It sounds like a wiring issue, check your wiring with the stickies above...

Is there a diode and resister on the solenoid? If They are missing or bad it will cause a solenoid to burn out!

Thanks everyone

There was no diode or resistor on the old one I had this cart a year before having any issues. The wife hit her car while backing up and ever since the solenoid only clicked. Now my new one is dead. Ill check the wiring this weekend. Provided I don't have to work.

I love the sight great amount of info and ideas. I think ill stick around.

Rib I put the exact same solenoid that was in there. White Rodgers 536120yadayada
