Does anybody know what this is?

Trying to figure this box out. 1 wire goes to a stud by solenoid then up to B- on controller. The other wire goes to a ground plate w other spades to hook grounds to.

It's a voltage regulator. Usually used as a reducer to get down to 12volts for the lights, etc.

Ok that what i was thinking also. I have another thread w this pic in it. I cant get it to come down to 12v. Its currently volting at 41. Do u know how to test it to see if its working properly. I already blew new set of halogens.

you should only have it connected to two battery's so that it steps down 16v to 12v. if your keeping the cart i advise you get a 48v to 12v reducer

I believe its a factory item. I do have a reducer but need to know what this is. Theres a reason its on my cart and im wanting to get to the bottom of this. It makes no sence why is metering at 41v if its a reducer unless its bad but idk how to test it.

The positive to whatever you are powering has to come from battery #5..
