One word of caution to all that are installing your own accessories on golf carts. From personal experience I have learned to NOT tap the ignition switch circuit for additional accessories, you can occasionally cause an overload on the main fuse and guess what, when this fuse blows, the cart stops. Had this happen 2 or 3 times, one cart has a wiring problem that needs to be corrected, the other 2 had other accessories (fans, radios, etc) that contributed to the overload.
I now install a separate FUSED tap from the battery for additional accessories, and if the owner requires these to turn off with the ignition switch, then I install an automotive relay.
