12 V Reducer Accessories Not Working / Troubleshooting Help
Hello -
Last night all of my 12V accessories stopped working (lights, radio, etc...). Using my voltmeter, it seems like it is generating power to the accessories. The fuse also seems to be intact. I drove on a bumpy road that may have caused exceeding rattling to the 12v reducer, but I figure if it was damaged it wouldn't produce power. Is anyone willing to assist in troubleshooting or offer any advise on how best to address this issue? Thank you! |

Re: 12 V Reducer Accessories Not Working / Troubleshooting Help
If your output wires show 12v I don't see the problem. It's down stream of that then. Have a bad connection? Do uou have a buss bar for power? Check for a tight conception there. Take a light bulb or radio and hook it to where your volt meter says 12v..it has to work?

Re: 12 V Reducer Accessories Not Working / Troubleshooting Help
All -
I STILL have not got this issue figured out. I am trying to discover where the issue lies "downstream". My voltage reducer has 4 lines coming out it (green, red, black, and yellow). Green = power from reducer to fuse box Red = + that runs to main batt + Black = - that runs to main batt - Yellow = switched + that runs to batt meter/ key switch Here are some volt meter readings which leave me more perplexed: - Getting 36v at main + and - - getting 36v back to + and - at the reducer - getting power (green wire) running from reducer to fuse box - getting 12v coming out of yellow wire on reducer My 12v accessories include, Bluetooth amp, lights, horn, etc.. I really don't understand how the accessories seem to be getting power but NONE of them work. Also, I ordered a new battery reducer with no luck on fixing the problem. Does anyone have any thoughts or idea on how I can determine where the issue lies?? Thank you in advance! |

If you are checking the voltage with a DVM, you could be seeing phantom voltage. It is voltage present with no current carrying capability. When a load is applied this voltage should go away. Test using a test light or a known good headlight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
