The battery is now dead and i have put it on charge. Has anyone any ideas Sounds like it could be an earthing fault somewhere, could be a process of elimination to find out where the fault is. If you've got a multimeter that would help. Good luck, I hope someone else here can be more specific. ;) Quote
Kr1s Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 I would have the alternator and battery checked, possibly hasnt been charging if light has come on faint then eventually gone flat..... Get the car started and put a voltmeter accross the battery, at 2000rpm with as many electrical loads on as poss (lights heater etc) you need 13.5v min - under 10v your looking at a batt and altermator Quote
wrinklet1 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Check your alternator for the small wire being broken, It happened to mine, instruments went haywire, no cooling fan, no charge. I just soldered the wire back together and hey presto Quote
