Wiring 2014 Gas Yamaha cart so ignition turns everything off.
I purchased a used cart and the previous owner did some of his own wiring. There are takeoffs (using the clips where you put it over the main wire and add a secondary wire then close it to make contact) in several places. Some connections are twisted together and taped. Some of the wiring is not color coded (a lot of black regardless of + or -. All lights are LED except for the oil indicator light. Cart has the string of LEDs on the front fenders, headlights, tail lights, turn signals in the fenders and in the side mirrors and the light, brake, turn signal bar in the back at the roof.
Wondering if I should clean all of this up. My main concern is leaving something on when I turn the cart off. Thinking about connecting a 15A relay to the ignition switch and running everything from the relay. Not sure if a single 15A relay is sufficient. What size fuse would you use between the relay and the battery? What wire size would be best? Oh, there is also a dual USB port and I'm not sure if it is even protected by a fuse. |

Of course you could just go with some massive relay and call it a day. If you don't want to do this, I have seen master disconnect switches installed at the battery. |

Re: Wiring 2014 Gas Yamaha cart so ignition turns everything off.
Thanks for the info. I wanted something a little more automatic like with the ignition switch. I'll have to trace all of the wiring and check the current draw. I was hoping someone would know.
Seems the newer Yamaha gas carts will turn everything off with the key. Wouldn't they be using a relay somewhere? |
