All so is it a fuse in the cart or a circuit breaker that resets it self after a vibration induced short.
This is strange.

What I may do is take the battery out and have it tested. This may save me some grief in the long run.

I can not see an obvious center point that will kill every thing including the direct wired lights. this is a good sticky.

Ok I understand if I had the lights connected to body ground and the battery to ground had a short, that would kill everything at once. But wiring directly to the battery tells me the battery has an issue. Maybe the post is bad. Hopefully when I have it checked, I'll have an answer for this. Thanks for the wiring diagram.
