12 volt supply for accessories
A month now with my first cart and having a blast. Still learning.
2011 Precedent with Madjax light kit plus ultimate add on (I assume since it has horn, turn signals and flashers). I want to add led underlighting and want to know best place to get 12 volt power. Should I buy a seperate voltage reducer or is there one already installed as part of the kit? Could I just tie into an existing wire? Have heard there may be a factory 12v wire behind dash. It has the six 8v battery configuration. |

Re: 12 volt supply for accessories
You'll need a 48v to 12v reducer. There are many threads on this here and you can obtain a good one from the vendors that participate on the forum.

How are you powering the Madjax light kit now?

Re: 12 volt supply for accessories
Well now hold on, there may or may not be a reducer already present. OP does your cart have 4/12 volt batteries or does it have 6/8 volt batteries?
If it has /412's, chances are the light kit is hooked to one of those. If it has 6/8's, then you more than likely have a reducer already. Let us know what you've got. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: 12 volt supply for accessories
Six 8 volt batteries. Since it was already installed before I bought it I am trying to reverse engineer it and see how it is installed. Looked up madjax instructions online and shows a plug and play connection. Doesn't seem right to me unless this is a feature on 2011 pecedent excel. Don't see a seperate voltage reducer.

Re: 12 volt supply for accessories
If the lights are all LED, then maybe they were hooked up to two of the batteries....most LED's can handle 16 volts. But you would have wires hooked to battery terminals.
Take a pic of your battery box. Also the factory location for the reducer is under the cowl on the passenger side. You can turn the wheels to the left and get to the reducer location through the wheelwell on the passenger side. If it has an aftermarket reducer it could be about anywhere. I've actually seen some mounted behind the instrument panel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks for help. Will look closer for the reducer when I get home and a pic of battery box.
