Default Voltage reducer

This is the back of the key switch. Where does the green wire go?

Also, it looks like I put the positive side of the lights in the red fuse connector on the right on the top and the negative in the third from the left. Is that right? If so, which 2 do I use for my led under body lights?

You run the negative from the Converter to the stud marked "-" in your fuse box (left side).

You can then connect the negatives from each accessory to the screws on the same side.

You run the positive output from your Converter to the stud marked "+" in your fuse box (right side).

You then connect the positive to your accessories on any available fuse.

The green wire from the Converter goes to the same key switch terminal as the Yellow/White wire is connected.

I’ve got 5 wires from the reducer. Yellow to the battery +, black to the battery -, green to the key switch. Blue - I don’t have it connected to anything at the moment. And red to the fuse box +. Then I have a cable from fuse box - to the negative battery.

For the lights, I’ve got the positive on the stud on the right side of the box next to the red fuse. Which negative does that correspond to? The drawings look like it connects to the third from the left which doesn’t make sense to me. I would think it is the 4th from the left.

The lights aren’t coming on so I have to assume something is wrong. Picked up a volt meter so I will know more when I get home.

All of those 6 screws besides the negative stud of the fuse box are the same, it makes no difference which one you use to connect which accessory negative.

Keep in mind the EzGo only has power at the Key Switch (meaning the converter will work) if the FNR is in gear, weird design.

Gotcha. Good to know. I think I had it in F and R, but I will double check that as well.

Thanks for your help. Got it all working. The yellow/white wire post was my problem. Again, thanks.
