'86 Club Car DS Conversion to 48V Wiring

[simicrintz]

I have finally amassed all of my parts (High amp F/R switch, Curtis 48V high amp solenoid, Curtis diode, 500A Curtis controller and 7144 motor) and am getting ready to install in my cart (I also grabbed a Lester II onboard charger). I hope to be doing the fitment this week and am curious if there is a wiring diagram out there that I could follow?

I tried using search but didn't seem to find what I needed. This will be a complete redo so nothing from the original cart (because there was nothing with it!) is being reused. I just received everything today (without any instructions) and thought I would ask here before contacting the supplier.

Thank you in advance; much appreciated!

I would just follow the diagram that's in the manual for your Curtis controller. That's what I did when I converted my cart to SS.

The only problem is that I did not get a manual I'm going to do an online search also but thought maybe there was a whiz bang solution with good tips on here also :)

Couple of pics (since I took them anyway) of what I'm trying to wire up. Thank you!

I found the manual online; thank you Jake!

Simi, can you link me to the F/R switch you purchased? I might need one.

I think I had bad intel, Skee, and may have ordered the wrong one (insert face palm emoji here!). Let me clear it up before I point you down the same wrong path I was sent down! If it turns out you need the switch that I have I will make you a good deal since I won't be needing it....

Are you doing the same as what I am doing (36V resistor conversion to 48V SS?). I think the guy "helping" me with parts got me set up on the 48V stuff correctly but then brain farted and led me on a search for some old resistor stuff that is not compatible. You can PM me if you like for more info as well

And got ahold of the supplier for a wiring diagram and learned that I could buy a new wiring harness to make my life a whole lot easier in this swap as well! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
