Voltage reducer need help
I AM a beginner just to get that out there.
I have been doing upgrades to my club car ds series 2002. I have the 48v pack I have a Madjax voltage reducer hooked up to the pack positive and negative terminals so that I'm accessing entire pack, I have a key switched hooked to the positive lead terminal for the pack and can here the converter kick on and off when I flip switch. I have 2 wires then from voltage converter 12v + constant, and 12v + switched, neither do anything or provide a read to my voltage reader Can someone help me here and tell me what I'm doing wrong or what correct steps are, visual wiring diagram would be much appreciated Also how to connect the cd player I have would be next |

Re: Voltage reducer need help
Yes key on and off all combinations.
Maybe it's a dumb question, but since there is only 1 positive wire that comes from converter how do I check voltage output correctly ? Just in case I'm not doing this right |

Re: Voltage reducer need help
Ok here goes:
Yellow goes to main positive of pack Black goes to main negative of pack Green goes to switched side of key switch (find the lug that has 48v when on and 0v when off) Blue is constant output (for a radio to maintain presets) Red is switched output (for lights, or whatever else that doesn't need constant power) This reducer is unique in the fact that is has both constant and switched 12v outputs- kinda cool i think! As for grounds for your accessories, I would get a negative buss to run all grounds to, then you will have a main wire to the buss from the main negative. Have fun |

Re: Voltage reducer need help
Once you get it wired, make sure the key is on and touch red wire of meter to red or blue wires from reducer. For the black probe (-), touch it to the main negative battery terminal on the pack. You should get 12v from each of the wires...

Re: Voltage reducer need help
Ok, lance_214, so I'm intrigued by just running an extra 12 v battery instead of doing the reducer route. First off, i assume you got with a deep cycle battery. Secondly, are you just charging that battery manually, with a separate charger? I assume not done thru the main cart charger?
