Re: Wiring plan for Accessories
So, here is a relay.....Is this what I would use?
How does this get wired in? All the schematics I have seen for golf carts haven't shown relays so I'm still trying to figure them out. |

Just think of the relay as having two sides. One side (85,86) tells the relay to throw the switch and complete the circuit of 87 and 30. 87 and 30 handle the heavy load. |

Re: Wiring plan for Accessories
OK, now that I know how to wire it it, can someone explain why I need a relay?
Do I need one for every circuit? Even for low amp LED lights? The highest amp accessory is the stereo amp which states a max of 15 amp draw. All others are LEDs with minimal draw. Note that the switches I bought state that they are rated for 20 amps. Will it work ok without the relay as that simplifies the wiring significantly? What are my concerns or risks in not using relays? Thanks in advance for the education. |

Re: Wiring plan for Accessories
Crash, he's going to need one if he switches the reducer, right? Like I said earlier, I spent a bunch on the switches I used. I wasn't going to ruin one over a $5 relay. This brings me back to when I posed the question here for my rebuild. A couple of guys said I needed them, couple guys said I didn't. Again, wasn't worth it to me to take the chance. Crash, it all comes down to how many amps the switch are rated for, correct?

Questions for anyone familiar with the Cartsunlimited 12V DC reducer (Scotty B?), I assume the line that runs from the keyswitch to the reducer shuts it down when the key is turned off. So, I wouldn't need a switch to turn off my reducer then, correct? |
