Question for you electorial experts
Ok I screwed up from doing something I shoulda asked about first. Hooked a car radiator fan to roof of cart. Saw this done on electric cart of friends cart and works great. Mines gas job,2000 -16.At any rate hooked mine up to small fan in rear of cart using its hot wire and grounded it to frame. switch in middle, cart, has ,stereo, flashing light, turn signals headlights. At any rate turned big fan n and cart ran for 30 sec and quit not to start again. Gent that works on cart came over and jumped something on Gen. starter and told me big fan burnt it up! Ok my bad so ill go new gen, starter my fault. Does this sound right to you experts and if I hooked fan to battery would I get same results? this fan is cooling fan from 12 volt car radiator , or do I just chalk it up to experience and take it down and plug holes in roof? Carts been flawless thru all the year and I messed it up, i,ll order starter .gen Monday .Thanks.Paul

Re: Question for you electorial experts
i would run fan through a fuse box powered from the voltage regulator
i do not see how the fan could burn up the starter /gen , unless it just a coincidence |

Wire it to the battery with a fuse or a fuse block.

Re: Question for you electorial experts
The voltage regulator's duty is to keep the battery voltage at a properly charged level, not to be a distribution block for accessories. Hooking things to the regulator could cause problems by distorting the voltage seen by the regulator (which is how it decides how heavily to excite the field coil in the generator, regulating voltage output).

Re: Question for you electorial experts
Sounds like you may have blown a fuse somewhere. I'd get a second opinion. You need to trace where the wire you hooked too goes and see if you can find a fuse blown or a burnt wire.
I don't see how the fan could have burnt up the starter generator. |
