2007 CC - How to add turn signals

[ghc]

I am a proud new owner of a 2007 Club Car Precedent. In order to use the cart on the course that I belong to it has to be street legal. The cart already has headlights, taillights and a horn (horn button mounted on steering column). I need to add turn signals and brake lights. I am not sure what parts I need to buy. I don't know if the current setup is a factory set up or after market. How can I tell in order that I acquire the correct parts? I believe the local cart shop wants about $400 to do the job. I am hoping that I can do modifications myself.

Check if your cart is already equipped with the wiring harness you need. You see, Club Car Precedents made up until 2008.5 came prewired for lights, so there’s a chance you’ve got what you need To find out, pull up the floor mat on your cart and remove the access panel. You’re looking for a bundle of wires that might be tucked away. If you find this bunch of wires, you’re in luck, it means your cart is prewired, and adding turn signals and brake lights will be much easier.

While your there, take a look at your brake pedal. You need to check if there’s a brake light switch installed. This switch is a plunger type, when you press the brake pedal, the plunger activates the brake lights. If your cart doesn’t have this switch, you’ll need to buy one along with a timer relay. The timer relay is pretty important because it lets you use the parking brake without keeping the brake lights on all the time. There’s a specific spot where the timer relay plugs in and it’s designed to automatically turn off the brake lights after 30 seconds. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Let me tell ya partner, this reminds me of the time I found myself in a right pickle with an old farm cart. Bought myself a 1982 club car that looked like it had been through the wringer and back. Needed to make it roadworthy to haul hay bales, but turns out it had more issues than a magazine subscription. Headlights were dimmer than a candle in a hurricane and the horn sounded more like a turkey with the hiccups.

So, I figured I could fix it up myself. Turns out, the wiring was a mess of spaghetti, all jumbled and chewed up by who knows what critters. Spent a good week just sortin' out them wires, only to find out the resistor box was all but melted. By the time I got the lights sorted, the brakes decided to give up on me. Ended up havin' to adjust the whole brake system, which led me to discover the rusted-out floorboards that needed patchin'. Long story short, what I thought was a simple fix turned into a month long project that made me question if I should just take up knittin' instead.

Now, reckon your newer club car a bit like my ol' cart. You might need to dig a bit deeper to see if your current setup is factory or aftermarket. If it's factory, there should be some telltale signs like standardized parts and consistent wiring colors.

Anyhow, just remember sometimes what looks like a straightforward job can unravel into a whole heap of work. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and see where this project takes you? What do ya reckon?
