the previous owner had a new battery, alternator, belts and starter motor fitted 4 weeks ago because of this problem. he failed to tell me that the battery light still stayed on when i parted with the cash(but thats another story).
any way after trolling through the informative forum found the 'wiring loom fix'. i've duely purchased the loom and fitted it.
BUT THE BL**DY LIGHT IS STILL STAYING ON..............
the battery at rest is stating 12.3v
when cranking it goes down to 11.5v
running at idle 11.96v
running at 2000rpm 11.98v
running at 200rpm withe heater and lights on 11.98v
is this pointing to the replacement alternator being faulty, if not the could anybody point me in the right direction please
cheers
jay
should be around 14v when running give or take a few %.
did you take the guys word for it or did he have service history to prove things were fitted?
