Battery Light

(1/1)

stevepage3:
Hi

I have a Mk1 Disco 3.5v8,  The battery light on the dash has started to glow and seems to get brighter when you rev the engine. At first  I thought this meant that the alternator had gone, but with a voltmeter on the battery I am still getting 14v + when the engine is running. Anybody have any idea what might be causing this, and how to reslove it.

Thanks

Steve

karlo:
Check & clean the connections on the alternator, make sure there secure.

burgerman:
 I had similar symptoms, had a bucket of volts but Zero amps  :(  Still had to replace the alternater though,
  Just a thought    :-k

Very_Disco_200:
 isn't just the alternator brushes or anything small like that is it?

Range Rover Blues:
It's usually the rectifier pack that's gone and the battery will be going flat IIRC.
