Lights/Radio Wiring Question
So my speaker dash, head unit, speakers, headlights and a load of other goodies come in tomorrow so I started to prewire the electrical side so it'll pretty much be plug and play.. I think i've got everything ready, hopefully ya'll can confirm that for me..
I will be running a separate 12v in the bag bay(picked up a deep cycle marine from sams for 80$).. I will be installing a switch panel tomorrow and it was kind of throwing me off.. Hopefully i've done everything right.. Here are some pics Here is the shot of the spot where the radio and 1 speaker will be installed..I've ran the negative wire straight to the bag bay where the battery will be.. I've ran both the positive and accessory/remote wire under the seat where the switch panel will be installed.. I've then ran another positive wire to the bag bay from under the seat. Which will attach to the switch panel as well This is a shot of where the headlights/tailights wires were ran.. I ran the negative wire directly to the bag bay and then spliced a positive to go to the switch panel and ran a positive from the switch panel back to the bag bay where the battery will be I think i've done everything right.. The accessory wire can be spliced together with the positive at the switch panel correct? I guess that's my real question lol.. Also, used the hammer/pull up method on the steering wheel.. Worked like a charm.. (Used a little pb blaster before hand just in case) |

Re: Lights/Radio Wiring Question
You'll need 2 power wires, one that you'll get from your switch panel which is serving as your key on power, and one that will come directly from the battery which will serve as memory power (saved station presets/audio control settings and clock).

Re: Lights/Radio Wiring Question
Correct, I've done that(I think).. I just wanted to make sure.. I've got 1 power/positive from the radio to the switch panel and then a power/positive from the switch panel to the battery.. Great, thanks killer!

Re: Lights/Radio Wiring Question
No. You will need 1 more positive wire that runs from the stereo directly to the battery. Its a constant power thats has very low draw on the battery while the stereo is off.

Re: Lights/Radio Wiring Question
Stereo requires 2 power wires. There will be a yellow and red wire on the stereo.

Re: Lights/Radio Wiring Question
Your switch panel + wire is so you can turn the stereo on/off so it doesnt stay lit up while you are NOT driving it. This is taking the place of a key start+ which you csnt use on your cart cuz it would get a full 48V. The battery+ is so you dont lose stuff like your preset stations, bass/treble settings and clock setting.

Re: Lights/Radio Wiring Question
I think I got it now.. What I did was run the positive wire to the switch and from the switch ran a positive to the battery.. What I need to do is splice those 2 to make 1 connection to the battery.. Then the switch/ignition wire runs straight to the switch.. Bingo
