Brake Light Timeout Question
I have my light kit installed and working. Operating with 48-12 v reducer. When I hold down the brake the brake lights come on and then go off after several seconds. I believe that is in the design. The problem I am having is that they don't reset. In other words, after releasing the brakes, after the timeout has killed the power to brake lights, the brake lights don't function when pedal is pushed. I was expecting the timer to reset immediately. How is the power reset? I've tried cycling the key switch but no luck.

Re: Brake Light Timeout Question
Cart has to be in run mode (assuming you have run tow switch) in order for switch to operate on most light kits. If you have an earlier cart that may be different.
I am assuming the cart is in run mode and the relay is getting the 48 volts needed, and then the timer is malfunctioning after it completes one cycle. I would replace the brake timer and I would bet the system works again. Either that or the relay in the dash/connected to the harness would be my two best guesses. |

Re: Brake Light Timeout Question
the time out is after 30 seconds ... you need to let it cycle through to the on position

Re: Brake Light Timeout Question
Not understanding this comment. The timer is timing out after 30 seconds and killing the lights. It is not resetting after that unless I physically remove 12v + from the time delay relay. I have turned off and then turned on the key switch, which should kill the 12v+ but doesn't work. Maybe I'm not waiting long enough to turn the switch on again?
