Get a digital meter and test the voltage with the key off.. It should be around 12V DC. With the engine running it should read 13-14V DC if the charging system is working.. :goodl:
Battery light stays on
Hi,
Just wondering... I have a 1986 GT18 that the battery light stays lit all the time. I asked a mechanic why that is and he really wasn't sure other than it has to do with the engine cycle or something????
Today I was mowing and ran the thing out of gas, filled it back up and went to start it and it just clicked and didn't want to turn over. Waited about 15 minutes and it started up fine, but the light is still on.
Any reason why??? Does this tractor have an alternator?? The battery is only a year or two old.
Thanks
