2012 RXV purple wire under cupboard
I bought an RXV with working street legal light kit. Everything worked great. The person I bought the cart from installed a battery gauge with the bars on to the cup holder instead of the dash. The bar always showed the batteries being half full. I removed the cup holder and noticed a purple wire attached spliced in with the blue wire on the battery gauge. I checked the current from the black and red wire and it showed 12 volts
I removed the purple wire and left it hanging and straight wired the positive wire and negative wire to the main positive and negative across the pack causing the battery meter to work correctly showing 48 volts. Now, the headlights don't work, but the turn signals, brake lights and horn still work. Does the purple wire have anything to do with this happening? How can I correct this?

So, hook the purple wire and red wire back together and the lights should work again? It looks like the purple wire is coming from the back of the key switch area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It was a red and blue wire not a red and black wire. I hooked the purple wire up with the blue wire and they work fine now

Those 2 wires are supposed to connect to an E-Z-GO relay that lets the controller control the brake lights on the cart. It sounds like someone may have reconfigured your brake light relay output as a power source for your lights instead of using a 48V to 12V converter. It's normally programmed for a 24V output to drive the brake light relay, but it is possible to reconfigure it as a constant on 0 - 48VDC programmable voltage output. Of course, I do not recommend that to be done, but it is possible that was what someone did. Bob |
