2020 Onward HP - 12V Power Source
Hello Experts,
I was looking for a 12V power source behind the dash panel to power a set of Rock Lights that could draw a maximum 2A at 12V. I could not find a 12V source, but noticed an unused pigtail set (Black/Red) which measures 50V when the key is turned on. My question is: Can I use these pigtails to power a small, 10A Voltage Reducer or am I asking for trouble. Thanks in advance! |

Re: 2020 Onward HP - 12V Power Source
I'm guessing that you don't have the factory state of charge meter? I believe that's what those are for. I would not use those to power anything.
You probably want to install a voltage reducer. I used the OEM one in my Precedent and it was a plug-and-play install. |

Re: 2020 Onward HP - 12V Power Source
Yes, I do have the charge meter installed from the factory.
The pigtail I mentioned appears to be coming off the emergency flasher. I do have the factory voltage reducer installed, but I hate to splice into the 12V supply wires located under the front passenger side by the wheel. Adding another reducer is beyond my expertise. Thank for the response. |

Re: 2020 Onward HP - 12V Power Source
I'm not sure what those wires are for. Personally, I wouldn't use them.
Instead of splicing the 12V wires up near the wheel, you could splice off them in the instrument panel. On the lighting side of the reducer harness you should have a 12 gauge black -12V wire and a 12 gauge blue +12V wire. See the lower-left of the attachment for the wires I mean. I don't know the part number, but I got a small harness from my Club Car dealer that did the "splice" for me. It connected between the return side of the reducer harness and my lighting harness and has male and female spade connectors on it. I wish I'd taken a picture of it. The only down side to it is that it makes for a whole lot of large plastic harness connectors to stuff behind the panel. |

Ah, that sounds like the way to go!
I'll talk with a dealer and see if they have something like that rather than splicing into the wires directly on the return side. Thank you very much!!! |
