No tail lights after installing reducer
I just finished installing a complete set of lights in my 2003 DS as well as an 18A reducer. After installing the lights I tested them with my 12 volt portable battery back, and all the lights worked fine. After installing the voltage reducer, when I flip on the lights only the headlights come on. The yellow side marker lights don't light up, and neither do the tail lights. Very strange. Any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated. BTW the avatar isn't the cart in question:)

Re: No tail lights after installing reducer
Ill try to help but I have a precedent and the wiring is probably different. I suspect your problem may be with your ground. When you had your lights hooked to an auxillary battery everything worked. When you removed the battery and ran the power through your reducer, the ground to your tailights may have been overlooked. The ground must come from batteries supplying your reducer. You can check with a multimeter if you have one. If not, I highly recommend you get one. The park lights on my cart were wired separately (red and green wires) from my headlights. I ran power through a rocker switch to the power leads going to my front park lights so they operated separate from my head lights. Sorry I cant be more specific but maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in.

^^^^^ Agree . . . check your ground wire to the other lights first . . .

Re: No tail lights after installing reducer
Do you have a volt meter? If you do, make sure your ground is good. Connect your leads to the yelow wire and your ground and see if you read voltage.
