Thank you!

I was trying to reply but was on my phone and it was being weird.

No, my reducer doesn't have a switch.

Does the reducer you got, does it have a switch wire?

I would recommend you install a relay to power the lights.

The amber lights I didn't include in my drawing because it was getting too clustered but I plan on wiring them the same way that I wire the headlights and brake lights. So I guess with their own relay? Ugh, I'm not a fan of electrical work!

I know the reducer doesnt have a switch im asking if it has a wire coming out of it that you hook to a switch does it doesnt pull power all the time even with the cart off.

Sorry, that's what I was meaning. There's no wire coming out of the reducer that hooks to a switch. There are only 4 wires. Red and Black 48+ input and Black and Yellow 12 volt output.

Here's some ideas for you - this is basically how I have mine wired.

Diagram 1 - This has the Reducer switched via the key switch and a separate switch. This way the reducer is only powered when the key is on and the switch is on. If the key is off, everything is off. If the key is on you can still switch the reducer off (and therefore ALL accessories) with the separate switch.

Diagram 2 - Same as diagram 1 but without the separate switch. The reducer is controlled by the key switch.

Diagram 3 - Lights with a simple switch. The +12V and -12V come from your fuse block.

Diagram 4 - Lights with an illuminated switch. The +12V and -12V come from your fuse block.

This is the drawing i did. After finishing it i realized i forgot to include that fuse block you have but basically you would install that where i have the fuse located. As for wiring the reducer to the ignition switch you would wire it like yawood showed after your fuse block.



The "Green" wiring is your negatives. The "Black or Pink" is your positives.

The Green/Pink piece is a terminal block exactly like i have on my sons Raptor that i pictured above. You should be able find them at Lowes/HD or any hardware store. I find that using them allows you to connect a bunch of wires while not using butt connectors.



Im also a huge fan of TechFlex or AlexTech wire loom for a super clean install.

Thank you so much Yawood! I'm going to "attempt" to wire mine up like you show in diagram 1 tonight. Just crossing my fingers!

How you show my lights exactly running to the terminal block is VERY helpful! I've also already purchased the terminal blocks and wire loom that you mentioned from Amazon and will get it tonight. I will provide an update after I get it all hooked up. Or ask more questions while I'm hooking it up. Lol

Thanks for taking your time to draw that out for me.

Default Re: Wiring Multiple LED Lights to Fuse Block

Alright, I've updated my diagram using both Wayne's and Bruce's drawings above and now I would like to see if my updated drawing is correct... I just want to have it all lined out before I actually start installing it. I have a couple of questions with my new drawing.

* Are the negative and positive wires coming from the terminal block and running to the fuse block correct?

* If I have changed my mind about the voltage meter and I would like it always on so I can see where my batteries are at while charging, can I go straight to the batteries main negative and main positive batteries?

* Also, since I have an off switch for the reducer I don't think I'll also need a switch specifically for the lights. Do I have those wires running correctly?

Note: Since Wayne drew out the wire location for all of my lights I didn't feel it was necessary to show each of those running to the terminal block in my drawing.

Thanks in advanced, again!
