1995 Medalist wiring

binder49 · 12-08-2018, 10:48 AM

Just a question. I am thinking about a 36 volt to 12 volt converter. If I were to wire the supply side of the converter to the load side of the solenoid would that cut the power to the converter when I shut the key off and put the tow/run switch to tow. So there wouldn't be a constant draw on the batteries.

That would cut it off every time you let go of the pedal. You don’t want that. If the reducer has a control wire you can attach it to the key switch.

Curious what "yes sir" was supposed to be, or was it correct?

I already corrected it in the original post

Sorry, I didn't go back and check. I just wanted to know what you intended.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a 1995 Medalist he’s working on, not an RXV. No motor brake I’m aware of...

Solenoid disengages when pedal microswitch opens.

I think...
