The ignition warning light on Unzipped³, my 2012 R27 glows softly. When I first turn the key on the light glows brightly for a few seconds. It always has so I assume this is normal. After starting the engine it glows softly until I shut the engine down. This is something new. The oil level is good. My oil pressure is in the usual range for the rpm the throttle is set at. I am not sure what to test or try but it feels like maybe a ground issue. Any ideas?
Thanks

There is a "fix" for the glow. Yanmar can provide an inline diode to stop the "back feed" current that is causing the glow. It is easy to install as it has spade contacts matching your indicator light wiring. My local dealer furnished mine.

Thanks Pat. I will check with Kenny next week about getting the diode.
