Went to start the Skid and the battery light stayed on after starting. Checked and tightened the alternator belt and light stays on with and with out engine running. Foot controls are locked. Engine starts fine.

It has a 12 volt system. I will stick a meter on it and see what it says. It is odd to me that the battery light does not go out with the switch off and key out. I am wondering if it is a short at the switch.

I am going to unhook the battery and clean to see if that does anything after checking voltage.

I checked the battery voltage and it said 12.38 when off and 13.89 when running. It is hard to get at the battery and I can't say the meter had the best connection. It is down around where it can not be seen from the side and you can not reach it from the top. I will see if I can locate a short in the wiring that hooks to the hydraulics shut off. Not that I know where that is. I unhooked the ground to the battery, in hopes that resetting the computer will clear it. I may never get it hooked up again due to the location.

Unhooked ground and re hooked and light came back on. I am guessing it is a short. Since you can see very little wiring, it will be impossible to find pretty much.

Tipped the seat up and pulled the floor out and everything looks good that I can see. No sign of mice, which surprised me. I guess I am lost as what to try. It is bad timing with harvest going. NH dealer will be very busy.
