Headlight issue
Hello all,
I recently joined and I am the proud owner of a 2004 DS 48 volt and here is the problem I am encountering... Decided to add headlights to the cart and the first time i turned them on both bulbs took a crap but, the rear and parking lights worked just fine. i thought i did something wrong so I went ahead and ordered new bulbs. I went to install the bulbs today, before i installed them i tested the voltage and it showed 12 volts. I plug in the bulb and all the lights (rear and parking) turned off... did the same test on both sides and same thing. Could there be a short somewhere? As stated before I got a 48 volt with a voltage reducer for the accessories. The reducer is rated at 20 amp. BTW I tried using the search function but I was not sure on how to search since the issue that im having IMO cant be described in just a few words. Thanks in advance!

Re: Headlight issue
Make sure you do NOT have anything grounded to the frame.

Re: Headlight issue
is it 3 wires at tail light ?
quick way to test is to unplug tail lights and see if head lights work |

Re: Headlight issue
Went ahead and unplugged tail lights... still having the same issue :(
May be a stupid question but, i didnt use a relay. Would that make a difference? |

Re: Headlight issue

So, came to find out that the only light bulb i was using had the polarity reversed!
I used the 2nd light bulb and bam! There was light. The other light bulb i went ahead and trimmed it the plug would fit with the right polarity. Thanks for the help! Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |
