2006 TXT PDS - Accessory wiring help

[jeffkerr24@me.com]

Hello. I have an 06 TXT PDS. My next project is adding lights,radio, horn etc...Does anyone have good close up pics of the two different ways of doing this? With multiple accessories attached? I just want to see the difference between using the 12V battery with distribution block vs voltage reducer and how to hook it all up(multiple things)Thanks.

I have a voltage reducer running a fuse block and bus bar, in my opinion I chose the reducer so I could charge the pack and not have to worry about charging a separate battery.

Do you have pics of that set up? I like that idea. I'm also trying to go the cheapest route too so not sure which way that is.

The cheapest route? Buy quality
The cheapest reducer will cost you double.

I meant cheaper as in which route to go. 12V battery or Voltage reducer. Thanks for the diagram. If anyone has actual pics of their set up shoot them my way. I'm not too good with reading the diagrams. My question is, since the reducer has only two leads coming out and I need to connect more than one thing, what is used?

You'll want to probably buy the one that scottyb has, I bought a cheap Amazon one and it nearly burnt my garage down. You'll run + and - to the posts that make up the pack voltage of your cart, from there you will run one from the negative post to the buss bar and run your green 12v wire to the fuse block. Then your accessories will run + to the fuse block and - to the buss bar, I'll post pics when I get home

Like has been said, get yourself a good reducer from ScottyB or one of the other site vendors. Then connect it to this panel which is the 6 circuit with ground bar and cover:

Connect the output of the reducer to the panel, then connect all your accessories. See the picture of an install in a Yamaha with lithium pack. Makes for a clean install.

You could try? The picture (not even a real diagram) clearly shows the 12v + going to a fuse panel for multiple fused connections and the 12v - going to a buss bar allowing for many common ground connections.

Here is my set up.....I've done this twice....

Im back.... never did anything yet with my set up. I can’t see the diagram. I installed my reducer “In” positive and negative directly to the positive and negative battery pack. Was going to run the positive and negative outs from the reducer to my fuse block. Is that ok? Also, I would like to have my lights going off of a switch. How do you recommend I do that? Run the lights to the switch and the switch to the fuse block? Last thing, I’m ok with radio coming on automatically when I turn on cart. How do I do that?
