Guest paul harman Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 gday folk i'm just signed up it looks a realy good site hope you u help me with my problemi got the battery light come on the dash board as the battery not charging got home called out rac they checked it over and said the altenator is ok but ther is a purple wire that goes into the alternator that needs a 12v supply when attached that make the alternator charge the battery but they don't know where it is fed from other people say it could be just a fuse i looked at them under the bonnet seam ok any one has a idea where the wire goes Quote
iannez Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 welcome paul. you should have 1 main feed (heavy wire) and one wire going into a 2 pin plug as you look down at the alternator. check the plug as the clips can weaken. if it pulls off without releasing the clip you will need to screw a small self tapper down the back of the clip to keep it secure. on these cars the light only comes on when the battery drops below 10v and not when there is no charge from the alternator. these cold mornings will bring an end to a weak battery so my advice would be to have the battery checked first and if its ok you will probably find the alternator is at fault.
