Alltrax xct installation

[fatjusto]

Gday, just installing the alltrax controller in my club car DS IQ 2010 . One question regarding the battery cable which goes through the OBC and is then spliced to another 2 cables at the terminal attached the original controller. Wondering what these cable is for ? One of them has a yellow clip which is just hanging not connected?

Do i just connect them to the alltrax the same way?

I’ve tried to attach photo for reference

Cheers

Yes connect to the Alltrax the same way M- to M- and B- to B- etc.
Mark the cables this way before disconnecting with masking tape and pen or ?

Thanks Scotty.


Just to be sure the battery negative gets joined the the addition cable and connected to the controller?

Here’s a photo of the terminal I’ve cut. You can see There 3 wires joined at this terminal

EVERYTHING that was connected to B- on the old controller (circled in your 1st photo) connects to B- on the new controller.

Why did you cut all the small wires off of the main cable? Are you replacing the cable set?

[fatjusto]

Yes upgrading the cables

Thanks Scotty , appreciate your help

One of those small black wires is for the battery charger and the other is for your accessory common.

Thanks, another dumb question but what is the accessory common for? It isn’t plugged into anything?

[WalterM6]

what is the accessory common for

Lights,horn all 12v accessories.

Ok cool, so if I wanted to install a USB phone charger would this be the best option to connect to this accessory common wire? Or is there a better solution

Thanks again

For 12v accessories use a DC reducer. Other accessories needed include a fuse panel and ground buss bar if more than one 12v accessory will be connected.
