Re: [DML] HELP!! Fast Power Drain after Tachometer freaking out

["Christopher Mack christopher_mack@xxxxxxxxx [dmcnews]" <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes.  I had this exact same problem with the tach freaking out and the battery appeared dead.  It turned out that the lead connector to my positive battery terminal from my battery cutoff switch had broken.  I replaced the connector and everything is fine now.   Check your voltage at the battery .  I'd you have power there,  something is disconnected.

I removed the battery (less than a year old) and charged it overnight, reinstalled it last night and, this morning, it was dead again.
