Probably caused by the EC2 back-powering the +12 bus through the injectors.    BTW, the EM2 should be on a separate avionics bus, not the flight critical.

Hi Ed,
I discovered last night that there is a mystery related to my primary 
injector switch: with only the master on, I turn the primary injector 
switch on, and the EM display comes on with 6.5V "low voltage" 
reading. I have to find out how the injector cirquit can feed power 
to the EM?
Any ideas?
