Need the help of those who have or have had a VP-200.
1. When going from preflight mode page to start mode page the battery contactor does not engage, so I can't start the aircraft. I have a master switch which allows me to activate the master contactor and start the aircraft. Also with the aircraft running, without the master switch turned on, the battery won't charge...obvious issue when the contactor won't engage. But, the contactor tests OK.
2. The below screenshot, to me tells me the battery contactor has failed, or indicates it has failed...but again the contactor tests OK and functions correctly when the master switch is turned on. With the master switch tuned on the below screen shot is the same except the alternator is functioning correctly putting out 14.2 volts..
Screenshot didn't post...give me a minute to make that happen.
All comments and suggestions welcome
