Default wild goose chase

Hey guys,

So I've hit a brick wall. I have a 2014 RXV with a 235 amp Curtis controller with the freedom upgrade. I recently installed 20.5" tires and played a round of golf with them on. Absolutely no problems. I was enjoying the extra 2-3 mph and it didn't seem to put any stress on the components. After the round, the cables didn't seem extraordinarily hot, the cart wasn't sluggish going up hills, etc... The next day I went into the garage to fire her up...nothing. Solenoid didn't click, reverse buzzer was silent, couldn't release the motor brake unless I followed the emergency release procedure.

So far I've replaced the solenoid, key switch, and even borrowed a friend's operational controller and installed it....still nothing; absolutely dead in the water. I lifted up the floor mats and checked all the connections of the brake and accelerator (all seemed fine). Is there a fuse somewhere I might have blown? (The only fuses I could find were under the tow/run cover and they were both okay)

My next thought is maybe it's the motor brake? Or maybe I fried the motor??

It's just so weird because I didn't notice anything unusual from operation to shutdown.

Would anyone be willing to walk me through a diagnosis with a multimeter, now that I have most components exposed? I'm pretty handy, but hardly a mechanic so I might need it dumbed down.

Thanks so much!

Make sure that you have 48V present on the harness blue wire connected to the charge port when the charger is unplugged.
