The 48v/12v reducer has a thick red (+) and thick black (-) for the 12v out. The thick black line (-) just happens to run into the back of the USB plug...just a coincidence, so I spliced into that instead of trying to ground my devices to the chassis. Apparently the 12v devices hooked up to the fuse block under the cupholders happen to be grounded somewhere else. I just traced the wire by crawling all under my cart and thought "welp, that goes right to the DC, I'll use that". Quote:
I really wouldn't bother volts will be correct and amps are more than sufficient...just a waste of money/effort IMO. Just something to think about, I bought this DC/DC (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0756T983Q) for my crappy Western cart and it's 20amp, and the one inside our carts is physically 10-20 times LARGER. I mean if that little crappy thing can do up to 20amps, I'd imagine something 10-20 times in size has more amp output. Plus there are not many 12v devices drawing from that DC/DC in the first place. I can only think of the lights, display/dash, horn, backup horn, and USB ports (ironically have a further reducer themselves). None of that draws very much. |

Re: Icon Dashboard Wiring
I know this thread is super old, but I came across it when looking for some help troubleshooting a backup camera installation on my i40L and the wiring discussion here is relevant to my issue I believe. Any help is very much appreciated.
What I've done: * Disconnected the backup horn under the seat * Connected (red) power from backup camera to orange-ish wire in the connector that was powering the backup horn (assuming reverse-switched power) * Connected black ground from backup camera to black wire on the connector that was powering the horn. * Cut the 12v cigarette lighter off of the power supply for the wireless video monitor (per manufacturer's support article) to hard-wire the wireless video monitor. * Wired the wireless video monitor power supply using splice connectors; the monitor's power (red) to the red wire under the dash going to ignition and the camera black wire to the red/black wire going to ignition under the dash (see attached image). When turning power back on to the cart, turning on ignition, and putting it in reverse, nothing happens. Unfortunately, this model camera's manual says that the monitor will not turn on unless the camera is powered. So I am not sure which component is failing to work. I am going to purchase a multimeter tomorrow and try to educate myself on using that to troubleshoot, but if anyone sees anything that immediately jumps out as a "whoops, you shouldn't have done it that way", please let me know. Thanks in advance! Image: https://ibb.co/yp0Qv9P Last edited by ic0n1c; 08-07-2021 at 09:21 PM.. Reason: image didn't attach |
