3 Position Key Switch
Any reason to not replace (would not work for some reason) the stock key switch with an aftermarket 3 positions switch in my G29 Drive? I put in turn signals and want to power them off the switch.

Re: 3 Position Key Switch
The problem I see is the voltage would be 48 volts at the key switch.

Re: 3 Position Key Switch
I have been doing some research on this same issue, as I am installing a 3 position switch on a CC with 72 volts. I am confident the switch isn't rated to handle that many volts..............so I am looking into a contactor solenoid to handle the volts and keep them from the key switch directly.
My only question now is, what power source do I use for the key switch??? Perhaps a jump off of a single battery or an alternative power source? Not Sure. OT |

Re: 3 Position Key Switch
Found this literature: http://www.golfcarcatalog.com/catalo...heParentId=815
Looks like it will work. It has two independant circuits. I would wire the existing on/off to one side, and the lights with 12V to the other side. OT, My cart does not run 48v through that switch. It runs of a solenoid. You can hear it click when you turn the switch on. Pretty sure that is how they are all wired but could be wrong. |

Re: 3 Position Key Switch
Yes the G29 (the drive) key switch voltage is 48 volts.

Re: 3 Position Key Switch
You guys need to listen to what Smallblock tells you about Yamaha .... there aren't any techs around here who know more about Yamaha than he does. I think that key is turning the solenoid ON, that's why you hear it click when you turn the key on...just a guess. Anyway as far as a 2 circuit key switch is concerned look to an ezgo TXT switch it has 3 positions and 2 circuits (4 posts) hope this helps .

Re: 3 Position Key Switch
Sorry guy's. Take Scotty's advice. I had no idea the Ezgo 3 position switch had 2 circuits. I do learn something new everday and today it was humility. I'll be better for this.
