Re: Battery drain acceptable after 500/400/2gauge install?

Here's some pics of the factory reducer. There's a 4 plug harness that goes to nothing. The two right plugs produce 48 volts with ignition on. There's two wires taped by the horn wiring that I have not tested yet. It wouldn't take much to splice into the +12 and -12 outputs. Edit: Don't make fun of my ghetto volt meter install. There was two spare 48v +\- connectors in the dash were constant and not ignition activated and I'm out of appropriate quick connects. Ghettoed some old ones and taped them snug lol. I'll cut the dash and get new connectors this week. |

Here's the metal wall thing. I used up all my dremel grinding wheels on my shotgun doing some gunsmithing and broke my grinder a few months ago. Horizontal seemed like a good idea. Looks good. 👍

Re: Battery drain acceptable after 500/400/2gauge install?
Yep, I ground mine off with a 4" grinder before deciding to ditch the entire plate. I mounted it to the back wall of the cavity. And horizontal is just fine.
The 4 pin gray and orange connector is the "smart box" interface. It's for remote golf course GPS and battery monitoring. If I'm not mistaken two wires go to controller and the other two are switched power. I'd have to look at the diagram again to be sure. I repurposed for other stuff, the 4 from the programming port because they were not part of the 16 pin controller plug. They were separate. The other two wires under the dash might be for horn or turn signal flasher. Do you have either of those hooked up? EDIT: I see you do not have blinkers but do have some wires going up the steering wheel under the cover. EDIT #2: You do have horn wiring (orange and blue) but do you have a horn? EDIT#3: reread your post. Yes, you do have a horn. :) Those three wires taped together are the brake lights. Because you do not have blinkers, they are welded and taped together. |

Re: Battery drain acceptable after 500/400/2gauge install?
And ditching the mounting plate sounds like a good idea. Kinda of a PIA to keep moving it just to get access without jacking up and going underneath. Which that isnt too bad since I have a low profile floor jack from when I was upgrading a mustang I used to own.
Did you put the plate back in place or just left it open? I didn't put the original cover back in since the Alltrax is water resistant and I'm not planning any crazy off-roading, just dirt roads and gravel roads for my 3gun competitions. |

I left it open. Here are some photos under my seat. I'm still cleaning up the wiring but it is getting close. |

So yes. I do have brake lights. I haven't seen the cart from behind. I'm always driving. Just just blinkers are needed. Even better. Love this forum. |

Re: Battery drain acceptable after 500/400/2gauge install?
And thanks for the link. 99% sure that's all I need to complete being somewhat street compliant. That way the cops won't give me too hard of a time for cruising the neighborhood. Hasn't stopped me yet. Probably driven 15 miles through the neighborhood since Friday evening.
And yes you're right. Said this was an addiction and looking for another surgery. I'm already shopping for stuff. |
