Was out of town for a while.

While the light is on, I checked the voltage
Charging voltage at idle is 13.26
..............at full throttle is 14.15

I know it's charging, because the battery stays up. It may be overcharging but the test was right after start up. I'll check the voltage after I run it for an hour tomorrow and see if it is still high. That could be why the battery light comes on a few minutes after start up and maybe needs a regulator ??

I used my remote start switch to bypass the relays and it spins right over.

I ordered 4 new relays. Not gonna waste time testing $6 worth of relays. Got way to many other things to do.

If that doesn't fix the starting issue, I will add on a start button.

Have you checked the low voltage module. Black box, about 2" square, mounted on the fire wall. It has a large electrical plug connected to it. If these connections are not clean they will cause the battery light to stay on.

Yes, the connection is clean and tight.
Is the voltage regulator just above the module with 2 small blue cubes on it ? I don't see a reference to a regulator in the wiring diagram.
I didn't end up running it today. Hopefully tomorrow I can check the voltage after fully warmed up.
