Re: ezgo plug handle wiring
Hi Ronnie.....IF you are wiring your plug to bypass the Reed Switch.....it goes to the WHITE lead.
Ezgo Reed Switch Bypass.jpg OH AND BTW.....Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to BGW. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy. oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!! |

Re: ezgo plug handle wiring
Are you asking about the plug on the charger's output cable, or the charge receptacle on the cart?
The third wire in the charger's output cable connects to the auxiliary contact in the plug. Item #36 on attached drawing. It gets a little confusing because there are three wires in both the Plug and the Receptacle, but they are part of entirely different circuits and have the opposite polarity, so if connected wrong, you get sparks and smoke. |

Re: ezgo plug handle wiring
Yes, I'm talking bout the handle or plug on the charger side, not the recepticle side....also I did bypass the reed switch, you did mention they have reverse circuits, so I WOULD NOT go positive to positive or white wire to white wire and negative to negative. ..I know the red wire with the clip goes in the middle but I don't kno if the white or black goes next to the red wire...hopefully this helps explains my problem better...thanks

Re: ezgo charger plug handle wiring
The black wire (negative) in the plug connects to the black wire in the receptacle.
The white wire (positive) in the plug connects to the white wire in the receptacle. It is the third wire that connects to different polarities in the plug and receptacle. The third wire in the receptacle prevents the cart from running when the the battery charger is plugged into cart by the reed switch disconnecting the third wire's connection to the positive terminal (female radsok) in the receptacle, which in turn disables the controller. The third wire in the plug is part of the charger's battery sensing circuit. It connects to the Auxiliary contact which touches the outside of the negative terminal (female radsok) in the receptacle, which is circled in attached picture. In the plug, the black wire connects to the terminal (male radsok) next to the Auxiliary contact. The exploded diagram of the plug I posted earlier, correctly shows which wire goes where in the plug. |
