Not clear if you're using an LED for the generator function (red)
light. You're not supposed to use an LED here, but I've never heard an
explanation why (except that the bulb is part of the generator circuit,
and may provide some necessary resistance). Anyway, I've run that way
for a few hours with no issues, but I'll be replacing with a standard
incandescent bulb before I get my car back on the road.
