OK so it happened. I changed solenoid in my kids EZGO DCS golf cart and wired the solenoid wrong. Some how the red wire from the reverse alarm was connected to the #6 positive battery post instead of the solenoid. It burnt the wire and now the golf cart is dead, no solenoid click and no movement. I replaced the solenoid and the micro switches on the forward and reverse switch. The golf cart is still dead and won't run.

Probably blew out the reed switch in the charging receptacle. It is OK to bypass this switch because it just prevents the cart from starting if the battery charger is plugged in to the golf cart.

I bypassed the reed switch with the battery charger mounted in cart and wired directly to the battery terminals. The wire that burned up looks like it went from solenoid to the reverse alarm. side. I replaced the burned up wire but still not getting power to the solenoid.
