I have a new to me RV9a. Went up for a night flight today, first time flying it at night.
And after my first landing: oil pressure pegged high, alternator voltage low, fuel pressure read zero. Turn off landing lights, slowly come back to normal.
I’m guessing I have a bad ground. Took the engine cowl off, and have been tracing wires. Nothing obvious.
Anyone run into this?
Frustrated.
Seems it is related to excessive current draw of landing lights, Strobe, radio, etc.
Lights weren’t dim so think the alternator output is fine.
Any help greatly appreciated.
