Hi what size amp alternator ate people using I'm using a 70amp and my battery light slowly glowing and checked all wiring for breaks plus the blue wire is fine if I have heater fan on its lights up brighter

Any help


Many thanks

 

Whats the battery voltage while this is happening?

 

I will test this tomorrow and let you no

 

TBH my S1 RST on its original alternator (56Amp) will had the alt light dim with all of the consumers on, but very dimly, almost unnoticeable. Maybe I am being soft on the car but I would expect that. FFS my Triumph Stag with nowhere near as many consumers had a 50Ah Alt on it which could just about feed everything! It's fuelling system certainly only required a fraction of the current!

I reckon that ditching the kill switch should help matters but in your case I would check the battery voltage and the earths. IME pattern alternators in Escorts never lasted any length on time. This is where a 6 month old alternator once landed me...




OTOH the Italian company was quite something!

 

I'm using a 90amp on mine good if you have a big sound system, so far it's been good for almost 9 years.

 

where did you get a 90amp one from

 

I didn't buy it I asked for one and the garage supplied and fitted it, I'm not sure what make it is sorry mate.

 

Ok mate no worries what's the spec of your turbo just see your sig and the power figures
