? with after market lights wired with keyswitch
New member, new owner of a 94.5 TXT. Previous owner has installed head lights (12V) via toggle switch. My question is can I wire these head lights through my key switch as well or does that not work with the voltage somehow? And can I also wire my new state of charge meter through the key switch as well. Also, do I have any optional "upgrades" to make my cart faster. Feel free to post links of previous threads that may assist me. Thanks!

Re: ? with after market lights wired with keyswitch
So you want your keyswitch to act as a secondary switch to prevent the lights from being left on? The keyswitch runs on 36v, you would need to use a 36v relay to accomplish this (which isn't difficult to wire). As for the meter, that's easy, connect your positive meter lead to the 'cold' side of the switch (the terminal that reads 36v when the key is on.

Re: ? with after market lights wired with keyswitch
Here is a great diagram about how one is wired. It also gives the part number.

You can buy a three position key switch, which is what I did. It has two independent switches - all are off in position one, the controller gets power in position two, and the second switch turns on at position three, which can be wired to power lights, and and other accessory.

Re: ? with after market lights wired with keyswitch
It was three years ago so I don't know exactly who I got it from. Do a yahoo or google search for "EZGO keyswitch with lights" or "EZGO unique key switch with lights" and you will get lots of hits. Just make sure that it is compatible for your year model.
