Precedent 3 position switch / accessories on, motor off
Hi. First post and third golf cart build. Prior two builds were TXT and now building an 08 i2 Precedent. Have any of you used a 3 position key switch on a precedent? I am looking to be able to have my accessories on and the motor off for safety. I do not want to be listening to the stereo in the cart and have one of my small kids accidentally hit the gas pedal and the cart move. I have heard about guys with the ability to disable the F&R switch for safety but have not seen how it is wired. Thank you in advance.

OK. If that is a trigger wire you are talking about, I would connect it to the 2nd position of a 3 position switch.
1) All off. 2) Accessories on. 3) Everything on. I don't have a Precedent, so unless there is something I don't know about I don't see why this won't work. |

I'm working on a similar set up and was also told that a 3 pos. switch won't work in a Precedent. Would you mind following up with any advice and whether or not it did work? TIA! |

Re: Precedent 3 position switch / accessories on, motor off
Maybe one of the experienced gurus would be able to clarify, but a switch is a switch. I don’t understand why it wouldn’t work. I looked at the diagram in the stickies, and the key switch is a 2 pole switch. Input (48v) and output to controller.
Adding in a 3 position switch just adds a 3rd pole in there. I put (48v) accessory output (connect to your converter) and output (to controller). I don’t believe or understand how or why the controller would know or care if you put the DC/DC converter on a switch leg by itself. The controller still isn’t powered on until you click the 3rd position, in which case everything would be on just like if it were a 2 pole switch. Maybe I’m missing something I’m just completely unaware of but I really don’t know why it wouldn’t work just fine. |

Re: Precedent 3 position switch / accessories on, motor off
I use 4 position universal key switches on a lot of my carts, and I don't use them for separate keyed reducer, but there's no reason it cant be wired for that to work.
Wire your reducer keyed input to the ACC post. Blue to B+ and Green to Run. |
