Dead Batteries

[David Dunlop]

Wayne. I had the same problem with my M38CDN.

Prior to cleaning the starter switch, I had removed a battery lead from the cowl battery after checking all electricals were in off mode. When I jumpered a spare tail light bulb between the cable and battery post, the lamp lit,

Once the starter switch was cleaned up, and on mine I had to replace the two inner side insulator plates as they were charred so badly, I jumpered the bulb back in to check for leaks and the bulb did not light up. The electrical leak never returned.
