Re: Wire Gauge
Looks like the original wiring had been altered, in any event, run a new 14ga wire from the Solenoid big post (battery side) to one side of the key switch.

Re: Wire Gauge
I have a stock controller on my '12 Precedent. I also have a PQ Bandit. Yesterday the ring terminal on the wire to the bandit melted and left me stranded. I wonder what the gauge is on the stock wire?
I was already gonna buy some 2g wires. |

Re: Wire Gauge
The stock wire is 6ga.
You need a stud assembly to pass a 2ga wire through the OBC, don't force it or run a new cable around if You are using the OBC to charge. The A1 and A2 cables from Controller to the Motor are the most important ones to upgrade first. |

Re: Wire Gauge
It goes to the post with the Green wire, that Green wire is the original wire, where does it go?
The Blue wire is the "switched side". |

I notice on the factory wiring diagram that I should have 2 red wires from the large post of the solenoid but I only have 1. I should also have that green wire on the large post, but it is supposed to go to the key switch, so I'll investigate that. There is supposed to also be a white/black wire from the small + post of the solenoid that should go to a micro switch. I don't have that one either. |

Re: Wire Gauge
OK, so I traced the green key switch wire from the dash. Once this wire gets to the rear of the cart near the solenoid, it is spliced in with a red wire (I'm guessing the red wire from the reverse buzzer?) From this splice, a red wire goes to the OBC and the other red wire has a large ring and was attached to the big post on the factory solenoid. So I guess in a roundabout way, the green key switch wire was attached to the big post on the solenoid also?
In addition, the white/black wire from the microswitch that was supposed to attach to the solenoid small post + is spliced/split into two red wires. From this splice/split, is small red wire that attached to the solenoid small post + and the other red wire goes to the controller. Can I just keep this wiring the same? It seems to have worked for the factory setup and they seem to be factory wiring/splices/splits. |

Re: Wire Gauge
Yes you can re-use those wires.
