Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
I also use a simple circuit with a hidden reed switch and a relay to activate the cart.
Once the key switch is turned ON, You need to wave a magnet within a inch of a certain spot on the dash board to activate the reed switch hidden behind the dash. The key switch only directly turns on the 48v->12v converter so You can keep the lights on or listen to music, but the rest of the 48v system does not work until the kill switch closes the relay. |

Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
use a push in cigarette lighter as a kill switch, and no one will know it's a kill switch

Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
I used the same thing on my car anti theft back in the 70's. I had a magnet and a reed switch behind the plastic dash. I don't like the magnet anymore because there are too many things that don't like magnets near them but it worked great.

Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
I agree, I would never carry a magnet in my pocket.
I have a church key beer opener stuck to my steering column with a magnet and a few other coin size magnets stuck around the cart for backup purposes. |

Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
So if you happen to drive by a recycling plant you could wind up with a bunch of random metal stuck to your cart?

Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
LOL, those fridge magnets would not attract as much metal as some carts full of speakers would attract.
Plus a beer bottle opener is an essential survival tool. |

Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
I use a clapper. Theives tend to want to be quiet so clapper on never occurs to them

Re: Golf cart security / theft protection
I would prefer to use this kill switch.... It's only good out to a mile and a half (with open sights...)but....
BFG!.JPG I know I'm not helping..... Good luck! In the city I would be worried about CartJacking with the ensuing low speed chase.... |
