Indicator Lamp - Lightning Bolt

fenneran · Jun 11, 2005

Guys,

I have a YMG-1800D and was mowing this afternoon when the indicator light that looks like a lightning bolt came on. (lower right on the four-light cluster). I tried seaching the forum, but found nothing to tell me what this one means. Any ideas?

I would say charging system, as this would be electrical

Check your fan belt tension, & wires from your alternator
also your ground cable connections.

I just had the same problem on my YM2310D. It turned out to be the connector off the back of the alternator had come loose. I reconnected it and used a zip tie to hold them together.
