2010 ezgo rxv stereo help

biebmiester · 03-15-2017, 09:45 PM

So I have a 2010 ezgo rxv 48v. Putting in a marine stereo and need help knowing what wire behind the key switch is the one I need to run my red acc wire to. I have a red acc wire. A yellow b+ wire which goes to my positive side of battery and a black ground. Just need to know what color wire to tie the red one into behind the key switch

DON'T TOUCH THE KEYSWITCH WIRES. That will kill the carts motor controller (that mistake will cost you several hundred dollars). Does this cart have head/tail lights now?

Yes it does

Here is a picture of my stereo wiring diagram. How would one go about wiring this

"wrong connection might broken the unit!", that's premium stuff right there. Which lights do you have? Original factory lights? Do you have a dc/DC convertor (converts 48v into 12v - for lights & 12v stuff like stereo). The factory light setup with dc convertor has provisions to easily add stuff. Do you require that the stereo turns off with the key? (or do you mind turning it off yourself when you exit the cart). Do the current lights turn off with the key?

Ha ya was cheap and n it is cheap. My golf cart looks to me as factory head light and tail lights. No I do not mind unhooking the battery. I have a battery terminal quick disconnect so really would just prefer it that way so I know it's not draining my batteries. My lights have a pull button beside the key switch u pull in or out to turn lights on or off

Always be sure to switch the run/tow switch to tow before disconnecting or reconnecting any wires to put the controller into safe mode. It is not really safe, just safer than the alternative.

Can I just take the red and yellow wire and run them together to the positive side and black ground to negitive side and just disconnect it when done with it for the day

You can steal power from the light switch & light kit. And yes you can put the red & yellow together.
