More than likely 1 of the 3 wire broken in the little black jumper loom that clips onto the alternator :wink:

Have you checked the loom as detailed by the nutty one?

Connect uses a smart charge system and will put the charge warning light on even with output from the generator.

The wiring is THE most common cause of charging problems on Connect.
