You might want to PM rangersam because it appears he just installed one based on his thread.

On second thoughts, maybe not.

Or maybe someone can shoot me a pic of there controller trying to figure out where this color wire goes, its RED with a blueish stripe and a 18 yellow plastic piece over it has a controller sized ring terminal

[Zachary25]

okay I figured out where the wires supposed to go, it runs from the controller up to the dash and is supposed to hook up to a relay for the lights.

NOW the last thing to hook up is my solenoid, The stock one has a yellow wire and a black with white stripe my guess is the yellow is positive and the black/white is negative?

I have a Zone Electric which is pretty much a Star. Where is your Star's solenoid located, under the back seat?

[Zachary25]

yes its right next to the controller here is a stock setup minus the orange solenoid.

Nice job but why did they sell it to you for $500? Are you going to flip it because I bet you could get $3,000 for it?

I guess the guy is picking up two hummer carts and needed the room i'm not going to sell it quite yet i'm having to much fun with it lol could use a paint job which i'm having done this summer for $400 two tone to match seats and rims plus I still have my other star cart that i need to put back together. which should be a breeze now that i have a running star to reference from

I have the same cart, it’s 48v it blows the 10 amp fuse while it’s running on reverse, if I am going on forward it will go just fine with no issues, only on reverse it will do that, just recently put a brand new solenoid.
