Is this the voltage reducer?
I have found something that maybe the voltage reducer but doesn't look like anything I've seen on the forum. All of the light wires come out of the unit which has 3 20amp fuses plugged into the top. There is a red wire that comes from the battery. I've attached a picture.
Has anybody seen this type of reducer? I want to add a 12V power supply to charge my iPhone and SkyCaddie so do I need to change the reducer to something more powerful? Thanks Gary |

Re: Is this the voltage reducer?
That is a fuse box. What batteries do you have? 4 12 volt or 6 8 volt?

That looks like a fuse block.

Re: Is this the voltage reducer?
I have the same unit in a project cart I'm currently working on...it is a fuse block/box. Mine has a black drawn metal cover held on by 2 nylock nuts...also appears to be mounted in the same place, so maybe a factory add-on?
I traced the wires and they go to the lights. |

Re: Is this the voltage reducer?
I have 6 x 8 volt batteries....so I guess I need to keep looking for the voltage reducer because the lights are 12V.
Thanks Gary |

Re: Is this the voltage reducer?
If the wires lead to the lights then you can trace power the wire(s) it will either lead to the voltage reducer / converter or to the batteries. 12V lights can work on eight volts.

Re: Is this the voltage reducer?
Wonder if there may be no reducer at all and they are running the lights off of 16 volts?

Re: Is this the voltage reducer?
Gm, CC ds correct? Look on the frame rail on the drivers side of the cart next to the battery box. About a foot long with a wire coming out of each end. One goes to the back battery that side and the other to a buss bar. If the red wire from the fuse block goes to the front battery on the drivers side then your 12 volts comes from + there and the - comes from the buss bar.

Stock reducer is on the - side of the circuit
