Hi

My battery light is on when my car lights and gauges are on. The gauges illuminate more when I put my wipers on etc.

Has anyone got any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to sort it please.

Cheers

 

Sounds like the alternator Has packed up, you need to check the voltage across the battery with the engine running, should be at least 13 volts plus

 

check the alternator belt hasn't snapped also

 

i have just charged the alternator belt and i have a volt gauge in car and it reads just 13 volts with the lights on and my gauges lights on but the battary light is still on the dash

 

mine is always on very dim,couple times it been the wireing from the alternator to the starter,

 

mine is on all the time turbo timer says 13.5 - 14.2 never had a problem was told it was the diode in the alternatior

 

I replaced my battery thinking it was shot, as mine was doing a similar thing to yours. Everytime I get the windows right to the top, the battery light glows on the dash. Just old wiring i reckon, somewhere along the line.

 

check the blue wire to the alternator,that throws on the light if anythings wrong,make sure its clean and gettin good contact

 

probably old wiring loom.

mine does the whole dim glow when using the electric windows etc, and thats with a brand new alternator, oversized battery and fresh connectors where it needs.

so long as the electrics work, the car isn't miss firing, and it starts! s'all good =]

 

mine does same,has donr since i got it.i just ignore it.as said prob a break in the blue wire.will just have a look when im next under there
