Guest rimotu66 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Guys I fitted a new alternator to the gamekeepers van today and its now charging at a healthy 14v only problem is the charge light is on when the engine is running (tickover or revving) and its off when the engine isn't running, any ideas ?

bikemad24 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 strange! how many wires on the back of the alternator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rimotu66 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 The socket on the alt has 3 male terminals, the plug that attaches to it has 3 female terminals but only two wires coming out, short 12" harness from there into a 2 wire multi plug then into the loom, I have chased the loom back to see if there is a snipped wire that might of come from the Alt but I cant find anything. No big deal hopefully as it is charging now, I am a bit concerned that any fault might toast the new £120 Alt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
