lights through key switch?
Can I run my lights through the OEM key switch? Would like the key to deactivate the light switches when the cart is turned off. Like a car. There is a switch for the headlights and am adding rear lights to tie in with that, hopefully brake lights. Non OEM. And also some LED's which I plan on a 2nd switch for them also. I don't know how the OEM lights are hooked up, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. My father-in-laws carts all have lights that are not OEM except for his Limo. All are hooked up on their own switch and not through the key. So can the key switch handle lighting or will I fry it? How much can I run through that if it is possible? Just want to keep the kids from playing with the lights.

You'll fry the key switch if you go "direct" with it, but, you can use a relay to sidestep that!
That's as far as I can help! |

Re: lights through key switch?
I setup a relay on my keyswitch, and a fusebox. Now everything goes off with the key, headlights, tailights, amp, 12v outlet, etc. Plus I have spare circuits if I want to add something in the future.
