A wall flower has asked me why " the light in the switch is on when the
generator is running" ?
I haven't run into this myself, what does it mean? Does or could it have
anything to do with the hour meter which doesn't work ?
Thanks

It is supposed to be on when the generator is running. I rely on it to let me know that it is running while we are driving. Between the road noise and the radio, I can't hear the gen when were under way, so I check the rear view mirror to make sure the light is still on. Of course another indicator that is has stopped running is that the roof air shuts down and I get rather warm.
