You can daisy chain the grounds from your toggle switches. Note: Nothing on an electric cart gets grounded to the frame, it all needs to terminate on a negative battery connection.

Question 2. I have a Master Toggle to turn the power reducer (48v side) on and off. What kind of resister do I need to go through for this setup.
You don't need a resistor on the master if you are just supplying 48v to the converter. Don't forget to fuse it accordingly.
I used a 30 amp 48v relay for $4.00 and wired it to the ignition switch so the converter comes on with the ignition.
Here's the relay: https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/st...0001_611928_-1

Doug, I'll pick up a couple of the relays. Is there a matching plug or do you just use individual connectors?

I think you only need 1 relay but I think they have a minimum order of $10, free shipping.
The connectors are just standard female spade crimp connectors.
