could anyone tell where the rev. light wiring is and the color of the wires I want to hook up back up lights :smile2:

 

[Viperr817]

i dont think there is a wire for that. i wired mine to a switch

 

[Larsen]

There is no rev light on general.

I am gonna run 2 lights at the back like Alaskan47 did and just run them to a switch and will add a LED light to the bumper as well. I am thinking I will add a horn as well would like to have the 5 dixie horns bit I cannot think of a place to put them, no room under front hood due to putting in the wiper washer kit

That's a good idea. The only way I could think of is figuring out which wire is sending a signal to the speedo cluster from the gear shifter

 

[Barley Sammich]

I found that wire on my Teryx and the back up lights came on as soon as I put it in reverse. That's the easiest way as long as the voltage draw is low.

 

[big guy]

I know that the other rangers has a set of wires to hook up back up alarm and people hook up lights

 

[Ironsbrandon]

this is my back up light it is just control by a switch. fits perfect.

There is wiring for a backup alarm small wires black and red on top of rear of engine close to wiring for tail lights, it's the same on a 2014 Ranger. On my Ranger i wired in a relay because the small wires cannot carry much current. Will do same on my General.

Great find Dirt. The red with black tracer is hot in reverse. The ends are heat shrinked, but real easy to find.

This is what I used on my '14 Ranger, if the General has the same back-up beeper hookup it should work.

[Barley Sammich]

I found those two wires on my machine. Seems like the red is hot as soon as the key is on. I would think it would come in when in reverse only??

 

[RockinRonnie]

One wire is hot when key is on other is ground when in rev. like newer cars and truck they are going to ground switching as switches and relays last a lot longer and no ark when switched.

 

[Trshmn#069]

i put to pods on from gglighting.com I'm putting them on a switch so I can use them for a load light when loading up my elk if it's after dark. thinking positive

6 Cool Things You Didn't Know About Your Polaris RZR

This one is a bonus for you because, it's only available on the Polaris Ranger and General. These two capped off wires get powered up only when the machine is shifted in reverse. So you could wire in a back up light or buzzer if you have that need.

Big Guy,

The General does have a "Transmission Switch" that tells the ECU what gear you are in.

But unfortunately, its just a resistance device and changing gears changes the resistance the ECU sees...and it tells the Instrument Cluster which LCD gear indicator icon to show.

So if you can find a relay board that uses resistance to trigger a relay...then you have it.

Altronix might make one....

The wires on top of the engine for the backup beeper work great. I wired four led "bolts" to them and they come on when in reverse. Added two lights to the roof wired to a switch to use as work lights when needed.

 

[Pirate]

Back up beeper? My Bobcat has one...but not my General...

do you really have one?

The lighted bolts come from https://www.amazon.com/030302-LiteN-Boltz-License-Lighting/dp/B000E243BG
