    Is it coming on solid and bright or flickering and glowing?

    I don't believe the PC map would cause it.

    I'm with Tink on this, I doubt that the map is the issue but perhaps you have voltage issues? Check your regulator output. s/be 13.75 - 14+ volts

    Don't all used VFRs come with charging issues? All mine have or they developed it shortly after getting home.

    It could be the led kit taking to much voltage, I'm not really worried about it she runs so good after the new map and levers

    You say that until it leaves you stranded. There are a number of issues where the FI light comes on first but you could be just days or hours away from a total system failure that leaves you walking.

    So, simply put, you should be worried about.

    Blinks or flickers and glows?

    I've seen a few 5th gen, including mine, have had ground issues which cause the FI light to flicker. Then the poor ground gets worse and the light comes on solid. Then it gets even worse and you are walking.
