It does not drive in reverse properly. Only appears to have 1 speed, very little to no torque.
I think the controller is pooched.

However the cart will not drive forwards. I can hear the solenoid click once and not proceed.

I am betting the solenoid may be bad. thoughts?

So it quit driving again? I sort of think your right about the controller tho.

I never fully drove it around at the time. But When I reversed Field connections to drive forward I realized there is only 1 speed coming from the controller which must be some form of lockout or failure.
