Rangie fixed but....... ign light on....

<< < (2/3) > >>

hairyasswelder:
Try a multimeter on the battery to see if it still charging, mine would still work even when the light was on. Turned out to be a faulty diode in the alternator so wasnt urgent.
You could also try wiring a bulb directly to the terminal for the warning light to check it not damaged wiring?

Range Rover Blues:
Given what else has happened I'd not be surprised if the alternator was damaged at the same time as the rest of it.

It's possible it is still charging but it needs repair at some point.

richard_sephton:
have you rewired the light does it come on bright with out the engine running if not it may be wired up wrong or the alternator is broke

big rob:
do you know anyone whom you can swap the alternator with to check it is that before buying a new one, might cost you a pint but worth a try.

simon15:
well it seems better today after driving it a bit but also the belt is quite slack and cant adjust it any further due to the alternator fan hitting the pas box if i did.

So just ordered a new belt which will be down tomorrow so hopefully that will fix it.


But now the handbrake aint working it one thing after another :(
