Re: How to install a "kill switch" to avoid cart theft
Yes, your keyswitch has 2 hot in and 2 switched out, basically it's 2 seperate circuits (key position 1 = circuit 1 on, key position 2 = both circuits on) - You just wired into the wrong one, that's all.
When we rewire carts we do 15A to the Ignition, 20-40A to the headlight circuit, depending on light setup and draw |

Yes it is 7A. I looked before, but the writing is too small for me! Found it this time.

Re: How to install a "kill switch" to avoid cart theft
Well I got the suckered wired up yesterday finally... I put the switch in-line with the hot coming off the solenoid going to the ignition as cartaround suggested. I don't like having it under the seat as it's pretty easy for someone to flip the seat and find the wires if they really wanted to. Something hidden within the dash or under the cart (I was worried about wear and tear on the switch with water, mud, brush, etc.) would provide thieves with more of a challenge, but anyone that REALLY wants the cart is going to figure out how to get it. Thanks for all the help fellas!

Sorry I didn't take any pics... I figured this was an easy enough project that it could be explained pretty easily with no pictures needed

In reality, my switch is meant to protect me in the situation of a boozed up partier hopping on to take a quick ride, realizing there's no key, and even IF he has a key, that it won't start, and saying to heck with it and going for another beer... I doubt many people would take the time to trace wires, hot wire it, etc. |

Then it may become an invitation for them to show you they got you! You know how drunk Buddies are! LOL Now you have me thinking. How about a switch in the bottom of cup holder with a permanently mounted cup that you have to twist to start! A old stereo head unit you gutted with a switch under the faceplate. a turn signal switch wired to start. How about a pressure switch under seat, you activate when you get off. someone sets in the seat and alarm go's off! be great in your case if you used a fire alarm! Let me have one more beer and I will come up with something! LOL |
