Wiring a 36 volt to 12v voltage reducer
I have a 36/48 - 12v (30Amp) voltage reducer with 5 wire harness. Want to hook it to a 36 volt EZGO marathon. Will use a fuse block with grounding bar for accessories such a cigarette lighter plug in for corn spreader, head and tail lights, LED lights (front and rear). Need wiring diagram neither reducer or fuse block came with wiring instruction.

Re: Wiring a 36 volt to 12v voltage reducer
First attempt to upload a picture not sure if it will come through. But a simple description of the reducer is that it is 5 wire, one section has 3 wires, red (+), black(-) and a red/white wire for key switch. The other is black and yellow and it is for + and - for lighting.

These should be the 36V power in to the reducer. Connect the red and black across your battery pack. The red/white is the trigger and needs a 36V power source to "turn on" the reducer. I didn't have 36v on my marathon key switch so just added an on/off switch for the reducer and wired to the battery +. black and yellow and it is for + and - for lighting These should be 12V power out of the reducer. They will connect to your fuse block and grounding bar. |

Re: Wiring a 36 volt to 12v voltage reducer
Okay, seems Like I have that under control, now my next dilemma is to figure out how to wire the LED lights and other accessories through a toggle switch, I was to cheap to buy the wiring harness so I need build one. First question is, do I need a 3 prong or 2 prong toggle switch for LED lights and secondly what will be my wiring diagram.

Re: Wiring a 36 volt to 12v voltage reducer
I'm anal and switch both + and -. You can keep the - connected and only switch the + from the fuse block.Single pole single throw (SPST) toggle switch.

Re: Wiring a 36 volt to 12v voltage reducer
Run a - to the negative of each accessory. Run the + to the toggle switch, and run the switched wire to the accessory.
