Strange happenings from belt indicator light

Trail Time · 04-11-2004, 11:38 AM

I got 53 hours on my (03) 650 this is the second time the belt indicator light started flashing both times no power and niether time was the belt switch tripped and niether time was the belt loose. Resetting the light is no problem but I don't think twice in 53 hours is a good thing.
I sure could use some guidance from you experienced guys as in where to look for my problem.
When it happened today I checked all the electrical connections and found the pos bat cable could have been tighter but that's it.

I think most of the problems with the light triping early were caused by loose connections. You may have already fixed it.

check the connections undr the seat. Grease them with dielectric grease. NAPA sells the grease. Mine did this, too.
