Ii need a little guidance please. have a 2002 e825 that has the old DC to DC converter. The cart still runs well. However, I want to upgrade before I have an issue. I came across a guy unloading all his Gem parts and I now have a converter with all the parts and wiring. Being that it’s already a wired unit out of another cart, should this be plug and play in my cart? Or is there something else I need to do to make this converter work properly?
It is not a difficult job to do once you understand what is happening.
This was a conversion that was meant to be done to cars in the field by a technician, but could be done by someone with a reasonable skill set.
Unless you are having issues with your cart wiring now, I’d say that the entire swap is way more work.
I’d start by exploring how it is all hooked up on your upgraded harness from the donor car before you take it apart.
Then unplug at the 1x16 and 1x6 molex connector and remove just that harness and related components. The DC Converter and the two relays will come with it when transferred over to your car. Also will be the 2 pin plug with the two 12ga? 72v (grn and wht) wires. Note how it attaches to the donor car harness. You should also have a wandering green wire which will attach to your key source wire from your charger interlock. (looking at your pic, the current location is not correct).
Then go to your car and remove the old converter board and look for the connections you will be needing.
I should have the factory/dealer install instructions. The message board here does not allow pdf attachments so it will need to be sent via email.
If you include your email address I can send.
Thank you for your help. I have a complete cart that I can study the wiring layout on. I would appreciate the instructions. My email is moorenycc@hotmail.com.
Thank you again
