Mine will do that some times while riding with frequent beer stops. Never does it while riding. Just at times when I start up. I just turn it off and start right back up, light goes out.
It must also double as a " you need another beer" indicator light! Or it can tell when you need to pee lol
And the power steering actually quits working? Should I just try charging the battery?
Sounds like I'll have to take it to the dealer, which I was trying to avoid. Hoping it was something simple.
I have a dual battery and the starter is the only thing on the main battery. I also have digital voltmeters on both, so I know my battery is not low. It stay's above 12 volts
Ok... Lets find some answers....
I don't have a voltmeter. I did not mess with any wires other than hooking the stereo straight to the battery terminals. I have it on the charger now but so far the light is still coming on.
Sorry for the delay. But in the past I have had the light come on and yes lose a lot of the steering but usually it gets followed by erratic shifting. Unless you have lots of accessories a radio shouldn't drain it that much. I wouldn't think it's anything you did but maybe check the cables to make sure they are tight because obviously if not it won't charge. Does it start fine or laborious? Anything else done to the machine? Check fuses?
No other accessories, just the radio, and I haven't even used it much. I didn't notice any other problems, it starts right up. I did tighten the cables and checked the fuse.
I didn't see any loose wires and I don't want to start tearing the dash apart. I was hoping it might be something simple like a fuse but the fuse is good. It's under warranty so it shouldn't be a big deal. Just a pain to take it up there, and I'm hoping they don't say it was caused by my stereo.
Yes, I installed the Infinity PRV-250 that I've seen a lot of people on here use. The power wire is fused.
Ok you should be good on warrentee then. Btw best all around deck you can buy I promise! We kept trying to get better we've owned every marine deck out there trying but were hard on stuff and they all showed. I currently have 3 models of the same because dependability is everything so good choice!!
