Here is the way I had to "look" at the diode to understand which way it installed. Forget looking at the entire fat round diode. Look _only_ at the stripe. The stripe, itself, is what you want to place closest to your battery positive on the large post. In your case your battery positive is on the left large post of the solenoid (in your picture). So, the _stripe_ , NOT the entire fat round diode, needs to be closest to that large cable. Another way to think about it is to imagine there is no wire connected to the diode so all you have is a round fat piece with a stripe on one end. Turn the piece so the stripe is facing the battery positive cable. That's the way it should face. It doesn't matter how much wire is on the left or right of the piece. I hope this helps you. |

Re: Wiring help for XCT Alltrax and 400 amp
Thanks for all the help, I’ve got it wired up correctly it seems.
New issues - I have voltage across battery bank and solenoid, but controller does power up or show voltage or errors. The Alltrax only gives the 5 blinks for CC acknowledgement with communication cable (USB to laptop) but will not power up. I’ve checked all the fuses I can see which is 4 of them (3 around the controller and one in the battery compartment and all look good. |

Re: Wiring help for XCT Alltrax and 400 amp
You can use the Alltrax monitor to narrow the problem.
Look at the Forward and Reverse indicators to see if they light up as you move the FNR. If they don't, check the 15 amp fuse and the Tow/Run toggle switch circuit. If the direction indicators work, check the KSI indicator as You turn the Key Switch ON/OFF. If it does not light up, the issue is with the key switch, perhaps a wire came loose on the back. The 30 amp fuse is for the charger receptacle. The 2 amp fuse is not used as it is intended for the LIN bus. The fuse in the battery compartment is for the accessories. |

With laptop _disconnected_ (but cable still plugged into controller) and key switched to ON, the green light shows solid. Also, in F or R the green light shows solid, with no depression of the Go pedal. I switched the Key OFF and connected my laptop. Green light on controller started blinking 5 short blinks. Then Switched Key ON and controller light turned solid green. I turned key OFF, disconnected my laptop. Turned key ON, THEN connected my laptop and controller light shows solid green. It seems the blinking controller light has to do with where the controller is drawing its power - from the laptop or the cart batteries. It seems that way to me based upon the above. Also, goes along with what R&TBabich explained. The other day I had my laptop plugged in, made some changes to the settings, clicked SET and drove around the neighborhood. It was only after I got back home and was putting the cover back on the bagwell area that I noticed the light was blinking and had apparently been blinking the entire time I was driving around. I checked the app for errors and showed none and all my settings had been saved. I had connected my laptop before I turned on the key. I have no other explanation as to why the light blinks at times when you think it should not. Would love for someone else to tell me if I am correct or if there is a problem I am unaware of. |

Re: Wiring help for XCT Alltrax and 400 amp
Scotty helped me figure it out...I had one wire that was not connected...duh. It was the tow/run switch with “continuity wire test" label. Connected and it runs now. All good now! Thanks for everyone's input and assistance! JJ

That's great news! I did not understand from your post that the cart would not run. Sorry about that. Just happy that it's fixed.
