48v - 12v reducer with 8v batteries
Hey guys,
I'm looking to get this reducer for my cart http://parts.diversifiedgolfcars.com...converter.aspx How would I connect this up to my cart? I have an 08 precedent that I converted to 6 - 8v batteries with a headlight and tails. I also got the bucket harness. So 48v + to + input on reducer, Pack - to - input on reducer (ground is ground right?) Then where do I connect the + and - output from the reducer? (actually thinking about connecting the + output to a fuse block) Basically, I'm not sure what wires to connect to get 12v to the lights.. the instructions are kind of vague. |

Re: 48v - 12v reducer with 8v batteries
This is the instructions you are looking at right??, if so the Green wire is your 12v +/pos, to your fuse block, and then out of the fuse block to a switch, and then to the +/pos side of the lights, ALL grounds go to the - /neg post on the battery, NOT the frame, never ground to the frame of an electric cart

There also appears to be a yellow trigger wire in the harness for turning the reducer on/off with the keyswitch . . .

Sorry guys,
I meant the light kit instructions are vague... I'm wondering where to connect output wires to the dash? Thanks |

Re: 48v - 12v reducer with 8v batteries
Well I can say I learned my lesson today on connecting the lights. I blew mine up after hooking them up. I used a 12 volt wire from my converter to the harness, and I never thought about the grounding portion. The ground (black wire) in the harness was still utilizing the 48 volt series ground and when i hit the switch they got real bright then they blew. I know will be using both the positive and negative from my converter to supply the lights.
I will do this by not using the black wire or the orange wire from the factory wire harness they're the 48 volt negative grounds, and I will tap into the blue wire for the 12 volt positive. I just bought the replacement bulbs an hour ago 7.99 each for 37.5 watt bulbs. |

Re: 48v - 12v reducer with 8v batteries
Here is a nice fuse block with pos and neg. Easy to put in, had to put on in my boat this summer. Pricey but can put in what size needed, maybe someone has a better place to get one.
