New battery, alt, belts, still no charge.HELP!
Wanderer:
What can happen is that the Handbrake cable can end up as the best route for an earth between the engine and the chassis then battery.
It isn't unheard of the handbrake getting warm.
I jest you not!
Range Rover Blues:
I had a mate whos car used to melt the clutch cable every couple of months, depending how much damp was in the crimp on the earth cable (we later discovered).
beast5680:
its not just the warning bulb on the dash failed? i,ve had it on other vehicles that refused to charge where the bulb failing doesnt allow the exciting current a route so it doesnt tell the alternator to charge?
Range Rover Blues:
That's a possibility isn't it. The bulb should have a resitor in parallel in case of such an eventuality but you can't always be sure.
beast5680:
i only suggested it as i,ve spent many a fun hour on freezing farms looking for electric faults :lol:
