    I can tell you that the Eric Jones 13V Idiot Light has saved my bacon quite a few times - or at least has saved me from dangerous hand-propping by reminding me to turn the master switch OFF. For $50 you can't get a better low voltage warning indicator - no construction required. As long as you do not hardwire or permanently mount Eric's ingenious little device, it is even legal to install it on a certified aircraft. The light also has an extra wire to connect to an optional audio alarm or panel annunciator. I fabricated a mount for the low voltage warning light module from a 3/4 x 1/16 x 2 inch long aluminum angle (aircraft aisle of home stores) and Velcro mounted it to the top of my glare shield; with the light aimed directly at me but offset to the co-pilot side. The warning light is installed in My Cessna 172K and powered from the cigarette lighter receptacle; providing me with a perfectly legal (nothing permanently attached to airframe) and very valuable low voltage warning as well as alerting me should I ever forget to turn the master switch off at shutdown another warning indication that I had long desired. On later Cessnas, I believe that this second function is indirectly achieved through their over-voltage warning light; however my 1969 (& earlier) does not have an over-voltage sensor. http://periheliondesign.com/moreproductsfiles/LV_Annunciator%20Manual.pdf Please note that I have no connection to Mr. Eric M. Jones or his company www.PerihelionDesign.com other than being a very satisfied customer. -------- Jerry King Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=451375#451375

    I tracked it down to a bad alternator, by the old, switch parts until you find it! Not ideal, but it worked......
