Hello,
I picked up an original condition, super low hour New Holland LX 565 a few years back, only 976 hours on it.
It doesn't recieve heavy use, maybe 4 hours every other week.
Been chasing an electrical gremlin. Thought it was the mother board or a relay/solenoid or ignition. They all test fine.
With battery connected and engine OFF, the red battery light on the overhead cluster flashes.
I disconnect the GREEN and YELLOW wires at the alternator, reconnect the battery and NO battery light flashes.
Does this sound like an alternator drawing power from the battery?
Bad diode maybe?
Hoping for a easy or general consensus.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts.
