Can you help I need a wiring diagram for a 1996 GEM 48 Volt car. I mixed up the wiring on the front 2 batterys and they are not wired like the 2000 gems. Dave

Dave… sounds like a former owner made a change to the 8 volt batteries… I don’t think that a question like this has come up… can you back track on the owners and ask them? I really think you bave a changed GEM… one last idea is call GEM customer Service… try my favorite parts guy… Lee at Beck Chysler in Fla… he knows GEMs pretty well… 888-239-4392… or maybe Evan or Roger at Nev Assessories 480-753-0684 they deal in pre-2004 cars
