Inspired by another recent similar question........
At times, after starting the B7200e, the "charge light" on the dash remains illuminated. This might be the entire engine warm up time. call it 5 min.
Then, if the head lamps are turned on, or if the engine speed is alternately increased and decreased, the idiot light goes out.
What gives? balky contacts in a mechanical voltage regulator?
I'm pretty sure the electricals are all original. The Battery stays charged, and the engine always starts even in cold temps.
I;m used to seeing the charge lamp follow engine revs, but not used to seeing a sudden load or output change needed to "kick" the charge light out.
I have not evaluated the voltage present during the "lamp illuminated" periods. It hasn't caused any issues. But I am curious.
Ideas?
