When I turn the key to "on" (not start) position and get the (two) beep, beep, the four lights go on and then all go off except the battery light. The battery indicator light stays on UNTIL I start the engine and then the battery indicator light then goes off and all is well (note: green oil light stays on as it should after starting) and I can go use my boat for the day. No problems! But why does the battery indicator light stay on when I click the key to the "on" position (not starting the engine) ? This is a new situation for me. I remember the battery indicator light also going off before starting the engine.
FYI:
Volt meter says 12.8 volts before start and 13.6 volts when engine starts (and battery light is off) and alternator gauge indicates all is good (around 13.5 or so).
QUESTION:
WHY DOES MY BATTERY LIGHT STAY ON UNTIL I START MY ENGINE? WHAT SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR?
Thank you!
