+ & - key switch wires
Hi All. I’m going to install a reducer this weekend and am trying to figure out which wire is + and - off the key switch on a 2014 TXT. It’s only 2 wires (no light switch).

Re: + & - key switch wires
you would use the yel/white wire for the positive (or trigger wire)

Re: + & - key switch wires
ha, i have this same question but for a 98txt (completely rewired with an alltrax)
I tapped into the KSI port on the alltrax directly for the key on 12v signal, and for some bizarre reason the reducer only works when pushing on the gas pedal. ie the moment you hear the noid click...all the lights in the cart come on and then go back off if you let off the gas. is the KSI port on an alltrax only energized when the gas pedal is pressed? or is something else just wonky? |

Re: + & - key switch wires
I think you answered your own question but yes. Key switch gets power from the foot switch.

Re: + & - key switch wires
ok, so if its working as intended...what wire SHOULD be used to energize the voltage reducer with just the key on...vs having the gas pedal depressed?
I guess i was wrong in thinking the key switch would supply power itself, vs only when the gas pedal was pressed. |

Re: + & - key switch wires
Well the standard wiring really doesn’t have a switched power on before go. You could get creative and rewire the circuit to make the key the first switch and the foot pedal second. Looks fairly simple. All 4 wires you need will be right next to the controller.

Re: + & - key switch wires
This is where I tapped into mine at. But now that I think about it this may not be ideal once something like a radio or something that takes a while to power on is hooked up, all I have hooked to it right now are headlights. Every time I switch from forward to reverse the MS2 opens (per the note at the bottom) up which kills the power source, so I may need to find a different route. I only discovered this issue this passed weekend while camping after everything was installed.

Re: + & - key switch wires
Whoops. My bad. I was reading the circuit backwards. The green wire on the key switch should be switched before the go pedal.

Re: + & - key switch wires
Ezgo did use 2 key switches. the 2 post is powered by the F&R micro switch as shown (blue wire) The Green wire is switched. This is where you want your reducer trigger wire connected.
The other person who said he got 12v off the switch has a 4 lead key switch. This is actually 2 switches in one. And it has 2 supplies, a 36v and a 12v positive. I believe the trigger wire connects to the white with yellow stripe. (36v + when key on only) Double check this with your meter. before connecting. |
