David Ober Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello, New pilot/New CTLS owner here. I went up yesterday and about 15 minutes into the flight, the Dynon started barking at me about "electrical current" and the engine light would come on. The amp meter would fluctuate between the middle of the green to the max (see pic). Non of my electrical components seemed to be affected. This is about the 5th time I have taken her up and this is the first time this has happened. However, this was the first flight I have taken right after I had put on a battery charger to deal with a dead battery I had a week ago. Thanks for any help.

Roger Lee Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Typically this is a dirty shunt wire connector issue. There are 4 wires. Take each one and scotchbrite each wire connector and the shunt bar where they connect. Apply a dab of dielectric grease. This should take care of your wild swings.

CTMI Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 This happened to me too. Cleaning fixed it. There’s nothing worse than a shoddy shunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
