Re: [DML] Flickering Battery Light?

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

The connection at the alternator - the one wire plug - is loose.

Hervey did a modification inside and removed the other pins - on 
mine at least - and the one connection can become loose. I took mine 
off did a minor squeeze on the one remaining pin and secured the 
dangling wire for minimum movement. All that flickering stopped.
