Need a wiring schematic for a marathon

[vescolift]

Just bought my first cart it being a 86 Marathon 36v that didnt run, the goof ball that had it before me tried unpluging everything then pluging it back in to fix the problem, needless to say it didnt work, as i am a forklift mechanic i put the meter to it and got it running within 30 mins but in all theory it shouldnt be, power being in places it shouldnt be and not where it should be so could somebody send me a schematic so i can see how its supposed to be properly wired and fix this before it melts

Try this and see if it helps...

@Skeeter:
That schematic is too small for these old eyes to read. The attached are more readable.


@ vescolift:
I'm not sure, but I believe the Marathon had two different types of drive systems in '86. Controller and Resistor.

Here are schematics for each. Controller first and Resistor second.
