Re: electrical system upgrades
Now's a good time to really clean the battery rack and repaint everything under the seat

Hot water & baking soda mix until you see no bubbles anywhere, then rinse with plain water, dry, paint.

Re: electrical system upgrades
Install one item at a time. Prove it works first before going on to the next item. It will take longer, but you will have fewer issues along the way. Unless you're a seasoned upgrader, then have at it all at once.

Re: electrical system upgrades
YES.... lets assume that currently your cart WORKS (is functional), thus if you connect every thing correctly, it will work when you are done.
1. Label EVERYTHING before you start taking stuff apart, or as you do it. 2. Take pictures BEFORE and AFTER (I'm talking about all the connections/wiring). 3. clean EVERYTHING.....whether if needs it or not. and very important ........ TAKE YOUR TIME. |

Re: electrical system upgrades
great ideas so far. will probably break everything down tomorrow and prep the battery area. will probably do A LOT of wire management while i'm in there working. anyone care to share a few pics of their wiring?
my 1st specific question is about installing the key switch/SOC meter plate. it looks like i'll need to cut out the entire rectangle where the existing key switch is mounted. is that the case? how exactly do you route that wiring without removing the cowl? fridge is ALWAYS stocked. thanks. shrp |
