I realize that lots of theories may exist, and trouble shooting is a crap
shoot from afar but I am wondering, what would cause a full discharge indication when I put my landing light on. This started shortly b4 I had my radio put in, and when I flew it back from the avionics shop, on the short flight, figured to see if it was a fluke or was it real. So, this is not related to the radio installation. Seems that when I put my avionic switch on, amps hold. If I put my nav lights no strobe, slight discharge indication. Put my nave with strobes, same load. Put my landing light on and amps show a full discharge. Would it be my alternator can't take a full load? I don't get a chance to try this in reverse as when I put the landing light on without anything electrical on, it shows a full discharge. The landing light circuit is a 30 amp circuit. Does that seem like a rather large circuit for something as simple as a landing light? Or would it be something silly with my electrical wiring? Battery is only 2 years old, starts with one or two turns of the prop, so can't imagine it being the battery. Hope to get a hold of my A&P on Tuesday to get this resolved, but hoping for some wisdom from the group so I know what should be looked at. Allen |
