4 Gauge Wire Conversion Problem
Early this past Spring I converted all of my factory batt. cables with 4 ga. Job came out nice but I have a question: The kit came with the wires for ONLY the batteries, not the F/R switch. Now the blue wire going to the switch keeps getting hot & disconnecting from the lug (See pic).
Was I supposed to swap out those 4 wires on the F/R switch too? Seems to me the answer is "yes" as now the weakest link prevails, etc etc. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! Doc  |

Re: 4 Gauge Wire Conversion Problem
yes. those cables have to carry the same amount of current as the battery cables.

Re: 4 Gauge Wire Conversion Problem
Great~thanks for all the replies...so the way I'm looking at it is, replace ALL the cables w/ 4ga. Batts are already done so the only others that I see are the 4 colored cables going from the motor to the f/w switch. Am I correct? FWIW, I'm running a stock set-up, but later this month I'm going to get a PQ or EMP drop in motor-don't want to really mess with anything else. The cart is a 2000 48V Carryall. If anyone has anything to add I'm listening!
Thank you all again~ Doc |

Re: 4 Gauge Wire Conversion Problem
Doc, as i just wrote a post last night i too made all my own cables 2ga, just because i like doing things my self. However i have a cc with an OBC (on board computer) and 4 ga and 2ga will not work with the obc. unless someones else can chime in. when it comes to wire thay all need to be the same or you will have a bottle neck effect. the wires your mentioning of some what easy to replace, just make sure you replace the forward and reverse switch with a heavy-duty.
but hey i am new to this golf cart stuff nut i have rear hundreds of threads |

Re: 4 Gauge Wire Conversion Problem
If you have not found out, you can leave the original one hooked up and run your new one around the OBC
