Here's a test procedure for the ITS:

To test the ITS jack the rear of the cart up and put it on jack stands. Remove the small black wire from the ITS at the controller. With the key on and the cart in either forward or reverse put the ground of your meter on the battery pack negative, slowly push the accelerator and on the small black wire at controller you should have 13-15 volts at activation, on small white wire you should have .5 volts at activation to 1.5 volts at full throttle. Test the black wire with it plugged in and unplugged.

i tested it like you said and here are the results--with the harness PLUGGED IN the black wire had 14.1v activated and the white wire had .4 to .5v at activation and 1.6v at full throttle---BUT! with it UNPLUGGED from the controller the black wire read 3.2v not activated and 3.9v activated and the white wire read 3.1v not activated and 3.8v activated.. i suppose the ITS is good...RIGHT??? thank you for your help!!

Usually the ITS can get wet and be fine after it dries out. Was the controller under water? If it was and it's the stock Curtis controller it's probably bad...

yeah it has a water line at the bottom of the controller. once the motor is installed i'll find out if it needs to be replaced too

Seeing how the cart was under water if you haven't checked already you should pull the pan on the rear end and check for water. Clean and repack the front wheel bearings (replace if pitted). Grease all the fittings on the front end. Lube up the brake cables.
