[h=2] BF50D indicator lights not illuminating when ignition ON[/h]
I have a new BF50D out of the box which I mounted this summer. Installation went well including break in procedure on the water. Only issue I have is that only 2 out of the 4 indicator lights on the remote are illuminating when ignition switch is turned ON.

Oil Pressure Indicator and Overheat Indicator illuminate and the buzzer beeps twice when ignition switched ON (as they should) which are obviously the 2 most important ones.

The Alternator Indicator light (ACG) and the Malfunction Indicator fail to illuminate during the same sequence. Output voltage measured at the battery is 14.2 vdc when running so the Reg/Rectifier is doing it's job.


I posted the above issue (cut n' pasted) a few years ago and never had a response. The owners manual is clear that all 4 indicator lights should illuminate when the key is turned to the "ON" position....under normal conditions. I'm reaching out to see what other BF50D owners see when they turn their key to "ON". What is normal? Do you see all 4 indicator lights illuminate or 2 only including the buzzer.

I have been running this engine for a few years now with no issues. Thanks to anyone who is able to respond. Maybe your boat is in a slip in Florida and you can turn the key on for me and make an observation.
