Solenoid Has Power All the Time

I have a 1995 club car power system 48. The question is, is the solenoid supposed to stay continuous from the hot battery cable to the cable going to control box? It has a wire from one side to the other that looks like a resister. My lights work, and when I push the accelerator pedal the wire between the two posts gets hot.

I also was wondering if the solenoid was supposed to click when the key is turned on.

it shouldnt click until the pedal is pushed

Thanks, I have never even rode on a cart before, so trying to figure this one out has been keeping me

Just wanted to say thank you. I finally figured out that the solenoid was bad giving me a false positive when testing it.
