My battery kept going dead - bought a new one, installed a disconnect switch, tested generator, took out glove compartment bulb (just in case) -- and all of this over a long - long period of time, and still the battery went down every few days. A few nights ago while driving I I noticed the amp guage was flatlined, nothing. Got home. Checked. Wire was hanging loose from the generator - probably had been holding on with one strand - maybe for a long time. Fixed the problem, now the battery is fully charged. Could the weak wire - held on by a few, and finally just one strand have been causing the problem all the time? I never would have thought of that. Completely hidden by original insulation tubing. Guess I'll put my glove box lamp back in. No big deal - I just never would have thought it could turn out to be something so simple -- and so hidden.
