48V reducer wiring with 12V accessory relays

ccds · 06-24-2017, 10:02 PM

Update.....got everything wired up and checked for proper operation. All was good. Thanks again for all who provided input. I forgot to mention in earlier post I also installed a purple PQ motor. My next step was to install the dash. I had ordered one from vipgolfcars on eBay. The dash I received is either not for my cart or came from a bad batch. No way it will fit. I just emailed them about it and haven't heard back yet so I'm not going to dog em yet. Will see how customer service is.

Anyway, my patience has run out...so I just had to see the performance upgrade of the purple motor. Keep in mind, there is no dash and accessory switches and main on/off switch is hanging freely. I temporarily secured the dash switches and left the key switch hanging. Cart ran great! Then quickly downhill....as soon as I parked it in the garage, I lifted the key switch to turn it off. It slipped out of my hand and made contact with metal trim. Smoke everywhere!!!

After chugging several beers, I checked it out and the green wire from key switch melted back to the solenoid. I just got ALL the wiring in new wire loom and secured to the frame!

This is a 2004 CC DS 48V. Any idea what else might be damaged besides the obvious green wire and any wire next to it?? I'm 42 YO and still trying to learn the art of patience....

You should visually see any wiring that was damaged. You will have to operate it to see if it damaged any components.

did you ground to the frame ?

can you confirm this is your wiring diagram ?

look under f/r switch for scanner plug

Similar diagram. It's not IQ. Serial # is AA0411. No, I wired it all correctly and grounded everything to a ground bar.

I had the key switch hanging because I was to impatient to get the dash installed. I wanted to test the new motor. The key switch dropped from my hand and "arc'd" on a metal trim piece. The green wire burned all the way back to solenoid.
