Wired voltage reducer up wrong by accident
I have 48 volt 12 volt reducer I accidentally had the two ends mixed up on the pack and play positive on negative and negative on positive. Now I don't have 12 volts I guess it's toast correct. It made a big spark. And I have nothing coming off supply at all when hooked up correctly.

Dodge, the inside of them are simple but delicate. Here is a picture of one and as you can see they will not take much surge.

Re: Wired voltage reducer up wrong by accident
transistors or caps took the hit. easy to swap those and fix it. you can order new ones from mouser. when ordering caps ( capacitors) the farad value must match but the voltage rating can be higher. the transistor just search out the numbers printed on them and order same. a solder gun and some solder wick and solder is all you need to repair them.

Re: Wired voltage reducer up wrong by accident
Ok so I got a new reducer for the second time wired it up and works fine . What is the key to having my 3gang cluster to turn off while the cart is not in use is it something Todo with the key switch or is there a rocker switch I should put in for turning off the load to the Three gang under the seat or how is this possible to do

Re: Wired voltage reducer up wrong by accident
If you are referring to the old 3-fuse assembly that mounts in front of the battery tray, that reducer you purchased is not triggered. It is a 4-wire type which is hot all the time. If you want to trigger it from the switch, you need to buy a 48v relay and have it triggered from the switch to close in and power up the reducer.

Re: Wired voltage reducer up wrong by accident
Or to make it more simple. Use a heavy duty switch and turn it on and off manually. I'm doing one right now.
