Battery light came on
« on: 27 August 2013, 01:06:42 »
Just seeing if anyone is awake,
Am on the way home and my battery light has come on, I did change the alternator for a second hand one 6 months ago, so that has probably died.

Are there any suggestions for the repair guy to try when he arrives, rather than just towing me and the car home?
Do I remember old posts about crimping the wires, or should he have all this covered in tests etc?
I put a new battery when the alt went 6 months ago too
Thanks to any suggestions as I sit in this garage forecourt waiting :-)

Battery's not flat, I just pulled over when I saw the light on and stopped in the garage rather than half way down the side of some A road

The repairs man has arrived, so we'll see what happens with him

Apparently it's the alt and we've been transported back home, the upside is that the breakdown is covered and the guy gave me the whereabouts of a good auto elec near me that refurbs alternators, so that's where I'm off to tomorrow :-)

G'night all
