Voltage reducer installation question

[Brion]

I am installing a voltage reducer on my 06 PDS cart. I am planning on installing some LED lights. I would like to have the LED lights on without having to leave the key in the switch and turned on. If I connect the yellow trigger wire to the key switch I think I will need my key turned on for the lights to work? Can I hook the yellow wire to the positive battery post with the red wire? What would be the best way to turn off the reducer if hooked up that way could you install an inline fuse and pull it to disconnect the power? Am I over complicating this?

Thanks,
Brion

1. If I connect the yellow trigger wire to the key switch I think I will need my key turned on for the lights to work?

2. Can I hook the yellow wire to the positive battery post with the red wire?

1. Yes, the key would have to be on to power up the voltage reducer.

2. That will have the voltage reducer on 100% of the time.

3. Install a toggle switch rather than a fuse. Switch can be located on dash or any other place that is convenient.

4. Yes -

That is exactly what I ended up doing and it worked great.
Thanks for your help!
