I believe root cause of this problem is associated with a new radio and speaker system that was installed in my golf cart by a custom stereo shop. They went directly to the battery without going through a DC converter. I had headlights, taillights, directional lights, and horn when I purchased the cart and thought I would have already had a DC converter installed that they could have gone to. In any event, I'm going to the stereo shop in the morning to confirm my findings and will order a DC converter if I don't alread have one installed. I've read 'horror' stories about explosions,etc. with DC convertors and also info about alternatively using a ON/OFF toggle switch connected to the KEY on this blog. I've even read it is good to have both. Any suggestions or cautions (aside from what has already been posted) would be appreciated. I spent $175 to have it installed by the stero shop, so I plan to buy the DC converter and have them follow the wiring diagram to re-install it correctly.
