Did a quick search but didn't find an answer. Has anyone had their battery light come on dimly when they accelerate? The light comes on after I put it into 2nd or 3rd and accelerate. It stays off when I idle. I have an aux battery wired up too. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot yet. Just wanted to see if anyone has had anything similar happen to them.

Loose belt, or brushes going bad.

Or both.
