Any of you guys or gals had this happen? I put an amp meter between the starter switch and the battery cable that goes to the light switch panel. Every time I put the instrument panel cover on the panel I see arcs and get a 1.9 amp draw every time. When I run the tractor like this with the meter in the same configuration to measure the amp draw, I see 7 amps and get an instrument panel that is quite hot with a positive rate of charge. Does this sound like I have a dead short somewhere in the switch? I had the generator and voltage regulator tested today and they both have a clean bill of health. This 2 amp draw is killing my battery. What am I missing here?
