#3: Re: Battery light!! One problem after another :( Author: Jensen, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 7:43 am ---- Ye it wasn't on before, apparently it's charging the battery fine and all that, so maybe an earth strap or something?
#4: Re: Battery light!! One problem after another :( Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 7:52 am ---- I was going to suggest the belt might be loose, but if its still charging the battwery then it might not be.

I was thinking that but there's no squeezing or anything, only other thing I can think of is the bushes in the alternator are shot but I hope it's not that

My so called 'new' alternator seem not to work -.- getting a reading of 12.25 when the car is of and 11.75 when it's on, in guessing that's why the battery light comes on when it goes above 4500rpm because it's dragging to much power, joys! Looks like I need a new alternator again!
