School me on wiring

BigBlockMopar28 said

Not sure if this kind of post is allowed, but here it goes. I have very very basic understanding when it comes to wiring and such. Ive wired a LED headlight to a go kart with a switch and a small battery, thats about it. Pretty soon i'll need to get my headlights, tailights, ignition, fuel pump, etc wired up and i have absolutely no idea what im doing. So if you guys have any tips or tricks for a beginner it would be greatly appreciated. I realize that i need to research elsewhere to figure it out completely but i thought this would be a good place to start. Thanks in advance

I would advise you to get ahold of a good reference and textbook and learn about basic electrical systems ... Even better take a community college class or have a professional run you thru the learning curve if you have one as a buddy.

Diagrams will mean nada to you if you don't understand the fundamentals ... And that will cause confusion , aggravation and could be unsafe as well .
The best book I can recommend is by Dan Sullivan (AES) ,it's called fundamental electrical troubleshooting and it will certainly get you on the right track quickly and is written in a super easy to read format .... If you have middle school reading comprehension skills this book is a breeze ... Anything more and it's a treasure trove of solid proven fact based info .

As a professional in the industry for thirty years that's my advice and good luck brother!!!
