2005 Club Car DS 48V headlight problem, voltage reducer bad?
Have a 2005 Club Car DS that sat for about 6 months. Came with headlight kit installed from dealer (we bought it 10 years ago). 48V car.
Got it ready to sell, got a good offer, and discovered headlights aren't working. Have 50.4V across battery pack (not connected to charger), brand new batteries. Reading 8.3V at headlight switch. Reading 50.4V across voltage reducer input (+) and (-) Reading 8.3V at OEM (p/n 15950) voltage reducer (+) output to frame, 0 V across reducer (+) and (-) Applied 1 battery's voltage to headlight wiring (pulled wires from reducer input, so current is running through wiring harness including fuse), headlights and tail lights come on fine. Are we looking at a voltage reducer problem? If so, recommendations for replacement model? If not, what should we be checking? Thanks, Michelle |

Is there 4 wires or 5 wires going to the reducer. You may be missing the trigger wire which usually goes to the key switch if its 5 wire. They're not to expensive Amazon has them or you can get one from the site sponsors. Get a 30amp model.

Based on what you described I'd feel safe about ordering another reducer.

If it has a club car model number I think you would be better off to get another from the club car dealer to simplify the installation.

And if you install it yourself be sure to make a drawing of where the wires go and take pictures also.
