My electrical system has shut off and immediately come back on several times. It?s always in flight, voltmeter and ammeter normal. When it happens, everything electrical momentarily shuts off and is back on instantly, just like flicking the master. It?s also blown the 20A landing light fuse twice.
The electric pitch trim also stopped working; the breaker stayed in, and there is a click from the relay below the pilot seat when I hit the switch, but the trim tab servo is silent.
Until I can get an A&P who?ll work on the bowl of spaghetti behind my panel, where should I be starting with troubleshooting? Master switch and battery connector?
There is also a lot of noise in the intercom when the landing lights and/or strobes are on, plus a voltage spike when transmitting on the GNS430W. I understand the last problem to probably be unshielded wiring.
At this point, I?m looking to get the electrical reboot problem, trim and landing light fuse issues fixed. Everything else can wait until whenever (if) I have time, get the skill and help to completely re-do the electrical system.
