36v to 12v converter question
I just bought the 30amp converter from Carts Unlimited. I notice in the diagram below it states to hook the remote wire to the ignition. I noticed with the key switch on and cart in drive the wires coming off the ignition switch are putting out 36v.
Does the remote wire need 12v or 36v? If it is 36v then I will just tap into the green wire coming off the ignition switch. Thanks! |

Remote wire (Yellow) should have pack voltage applied to turn on converter.

Re: 36v to 12v converter question
ok....I need some help with the LED switches.
The switch I got states : Earth- (I assume ground) Load - 12v in from fuse box Supply - to accessory Correct? Keeps blowing fuses when I hook it up that way... |

These are lighted switches? that is the reason they need + and - , correct? Earth is negative. If you are going to switch the + leg to the light then the light will need a separate - also. Everything needs 2 wires + and - to work. Your diagram is incorrect in this area. Load = the lights + supply = 12v supply + The 3rd leg would be your - Reference this diagram below I hope this helps |

Re: 36v to 12v converter question
The first most important rule od DC vehicles is nothing is ever - ever! grounded to the frame. Everything is on a 2 wire system. Everything gets a + and a - to work. the solenoid, the lights, the motor. etc.
Redraw your diagram and resubmit |
