Default 2012 RXV bogging down, smells hot

Cart was fine when put away in winter. Got cart out, charged, drove a short distance and it started bogging down and a burning smell. Checked batteries as they are on the 4th year, water level good and 12.2 to 12.9 volts across each battery. 50+ volts when parked and only drops to 49 volts when moving. With switch in tow in key in neutral brake unlocks momentarily and then locks again. If I switch the jumpers to 1 connected to 3 as described under cover brake releases and cart rolls freely. Was not hearing solenoid click when turning key on. Disconnected large wire to B+ on controller from solenoid and have no power on that post when turning key on. Oddly enough the wire to B+ still gets 50v on it when key is turned on even when disconnected from solenoid but after reviewing some wiring diagrams it appears as if most of the B+ are common so I’m assuming that voltage is coming thru the ignition wire. Ordered new solenoid and just installed. B+ side post still does not get hot with key on but definitely hear solenoid clicking now but symptoms still the same. Drove it a short distance and started smelling the burnt smell again. Brake end of motor was really hot but again, if I put power directly to the brake you hear it click and cart rolls freely. Looking for suggestions. Thx

I suggest replacing the failing motor brake.
