Discovery 200Tdi Battery warning light stays on

(1/2) > >>

Sharpshooter:
Hi All, My battery warning light stays on, but only when i turn the engine off. I can get out of the car and lock it, and it still stays on. Only started this morning. Any help would be great. Cheers Wayne. :D  :D  :D

Wanderer:
Diode pack in the alternator? Usually that's what causes that.

Sharpshooter:
It is still charging, and it goes out when the engine is running. What should i do about it, or is there a way of testing it? :D

Sharpshooter:
Ok, have checked charge, and its not good. The light doesnt come on with the ignition, and when i removed it, after my wife got home, about an hour and a half later it was red hot to the touch. HELP. Bearings ar ok.

Range Rover Blues:
Like Wanderer says, it's the diode pack, a classic fault on alternators.  Take it to an auto-electrician and it should cost about £20 for the parts plus some labour.
