This is the pin out, I posted the picture because is easier to follow.

Thanks Sergio ...I was typing while you posted , so the led lit rocker is lit as long as the cart's key switch is on ?

Yes, the small "horizontal" led on the bottom of the Rocker switch will come ON when the Converter gets powered by the cart's Key Switch.

When You turn the actual Rocker Switch ON, then the larger LED on the Top of the Rocker switch, usually with a label or picture will illuminate as well.

I was just curious , This setup sounded like what you were looking for plus the switch will be easy to find at night, I have my switch for driving and regular lights by my FWD/REV housing with middle off and up regular lights and tail with other position tail and driving lights. rear sockets have the 1157 bulbs so I am working on brake lights, have the switches just need the time to make the bracket for under side. They seem simple using two N/C switches being held open .

I ordered a converter from David /Revolution golf cars

yes ... you wire the 12v power from keyed reducer to LED light switch that way it is off with key

here is one i diagrammed for a guy



Sergio's switches are way cool .. i may try them

Thanks Crash ..I'm printing that diagram, that's the way I had it in my head but is nice to have a diagram to go by, yeah those switches are nice especially at night you can see the illuminated switch and won't have to fumble around trying to find it, it sounds like Sergio is saying it's cheaper to make the harness instead of buying it already put together but making the harness with relay and fuse is WAY over my head, I am learning a lot from you guys though. I'm going to get me one of those fuse blocks /buss bar ....that seems to be the way to go especially if you want to add something later.

Thanks to everyone for the help...much appreciated !

One thing is that the harness has an outer cover and when you install it be sure and look for places it may pinch or rub. Also after running be sure and tie it down with some wire ties, it's good to follow the original harness and maybe replace some of it's wire ties if they are brittle.

i always make my own harness
i twist the wires together with a drill then feed them into a wire loom tube

glassk and CTD, thanks for the info. Will certainly keep those things in mind, also when does this constant upgrading stop?

the day before you sell it for another
