Anyone know why my voltage is so high?

I too think your meter is wrong. A generator is not capable of putting out 20V. 17V is about their max.

I've never seen a switch that made something "pulse". I highly, highly doubt is't a switch.

May not have good ground and the regulator isn't charging right. That can cause a pulse..... But I also doubt it's just the ground for the light.
