Re: 2012 RXV flickering LED lights after installing a reducer
The 16ga wire for the + and - input will work fine if it is a short run.
It would not be efficient on a longer wire run, but since those converters are supposed to provide a stable 12v output with as low as 30v input, it should still work. The yellow trigger wire carries very little current and it would be more susceptible to induced noise. I assume Your fuse block has both the positive and negative busses for all the accessories. Do You have any other accessory that You can turn ON as well like a radio? The converter may be turning ON/OFF so fast that Your meter is not giving you a good reading, adding additional load to the 12v side may show a bigger drop or turn the radio off. You can also temporarily run the Yellow wire directly to the pack positive, avoiding running parallel and in close proximity to any of the large current cables. |

Re: 2012 RXV flickering LED lights after installing a reducer
The answer was a bridge rectifier
http://www.eicsemi.com/datasheet/KBPC5000_10.pdf It converts the 12 volt AC to 12 volt DC, no more flickering. |

First I would make an attempt to isolate the problem. - sounds like you've checked all connections. Fuse install, bolts, splices etc. - - maybe you have bad lights....test install with a new set of led's. maybe a cheap set of led strip lights or something. - |

You may have bad ripple, but the bridge rectifier will not do anything for that (other than reduce the voltage by about 1.4v). |

Re: 2012 RXV flickering LED lights after installing a reducer
270handiman, the rxv is an ac drive system, I assume that is where the ac is coming from. I never checked if it is actually ac, just assumed. I don't know how to use multimeter to see if it's ac or dc.

Re: 2012 RXV flickering LED lights after installing a reducer
The only place You will see AC is on the 3-phase cables from the Inverter/Controller to the AC motor.
Where exactly did You wire the bridge rectifier, right at the headlight connection (+ and -)? |
