DIY Wiring Harness
i'm building my own wiring harness for lights and such and thought i'd share the progress the community.
i started out with just fog lights, a relay, a switch and a 12v battery. i would eventually like to make the cart street legal so i've since cut in some factory CC front lights and aftermarket LED tail lights. still have to figure out how im going to control everything; blinkers, brake light, etc. the junction box is made for tractor trailer lights and is via the eBay. quick connect plugs are made from 2x2 15amp anderson power poles. i'll likely do something similar in the rear. most wires were laced, some i twisted. bare wire ends were coated with no-ox-id prior to crimping. i'll post up some progress as soon as i locate some affordable wire. -sj |

Re: DIY Wiring Harness
With the leads this short, will you be able to replace a burned out bulb in the future without removing the entire cowl? Just a thought.... |

is the stock club car switch any good? i've seen that diagram before.... i take it thats a 8-wire switch? i see a lot of 7 wire universal turn signal/brake switches available. i've also seen one that mentions its for LED use. not sure if that was just the flasher or the switch. i know some flashers don't like the smaller load of the LEDs and will flash fast like a bulb is out. i gotta do some reading...

Re: DIY Wiring Harness
The only difference is the flasher. If you use the regular flasher you can install a resistor in series with one bulb on each side to simulate the load.

Re: DIY Wiring Harness
Hmmm. Hey dougmcp, wouldn't the resistor have to be in parallel with the led to simulate the bulb current draw? Just askin'.
