What might be a dumb question 1997 DCS wiring

bxlt

So I am rebuilding a 97 DCS. I bought a XCT 500 DCS and wired it all up last night...well sort of. I wired up everything but the charging circuit, I did bypass the reed switch, but with everything hooked up I got nothing. No lights, nothing. Seeing as how the reed switch is attached to the positive side of the charger port would that cause any issues?

Sir Nuke

ok....let me make sure I under stand....you hooked up everything EXPECT the charging port.....correct? and now you have nothing.....and the charging port is still not hooked up? correct?.....if this is correct.....then YES this will be a problem as the read switch or at least its connection, as makes a connection from the + battery connection to the RUN/TOW switch.....thus you have a broken loop/connection.

Good to know. I didn't hook up the charging circuit because it had been cut off before I got the cart so I have to rewire it. I will try it tonight and see what happens.

Thanks
