Wiring a 3 prong ignition switch (with headlights)
Ok guys, I have the 4 prong ignition switch with the built in headlights. I changed it today, and in the process of that, I inadvertently got the two blue wires mixed up and don't remember which one went where. One was on an outside prong and the other was on the vertical prong on top by itself. Does it matter which prong I put them on?

Oops Sorry, I meant 3 position. It has 4 prongs.

Re: Wiring a 3 prong ignition switch (with headlights)
Here is the info on it:
Serial #: *2635434* Date Code: M0208 I don't know much about it. I just got it from a friend on a trade. It's 36 volt. |

I have the other two wires hooked up to the ignition switch correctly. It turns on and accelerates when the key is turned on, I just don't know which blue wire goes on which other two prongs. Both wires are blue with a white stripe.

Re: Wiring a 3 prong ignition switch (with headlights)
Googled "EZGO PDS" and found (already knew) Precision Drive System. It means the motor is a SEPEX vs. Series.
If your cart works, then it shouldn't matter which wire goes where, as one is supply (12 volts) and the other is load (lights). A switch doesn't care which is which, as long as you've already figured out that these are two independent switches, and since the cart runs, you must have one of the two switches figured out. |

Re: Wiring a 3 prong ignition switch (with headlights)
This will help:
Just look at the bold print in lower right corner, the back of your key switch should be labeled the same. If you don't know which wire is the hot wire (battery wire) simply use a dvm and probe the wires. Also, I'm guessing your PDS will be like mine, I did not have 36 volts at the key switch. Have something like 17 or so. |

Re: Wiring a 3 prong ignition switch (with headlights)
I wish I knew that's what the 4 prong 3 position switches were before this weekend. I have a 3 wire/prong 3 position switch and was struggling with trying to figure out how to wire my 12v lights to the 3rd position while the first two were 48v. I ended up with putting a relay in.
