hi my escort cossy normaly see around 13.9 v on my volt gauge that reads from the fues box and i have a secs and that reads from the ecu but today i seem to have a very low reading 10.1 voilts to the ecu and around 11.6 to the fues box but my battery is also low but when i read it from the alltanator it reads 13.9 14v what you think it has a new alltanator and new battery about 7 weeks ago

How often are you out in the car? Do you do alot of miles or just round the town ect?


Your alternator would seem to me as if its ok but your battery weak, but i cant understand why if your alternators ok the secs and other gauge doesnt read it, im thinking if your battery was weak you would notice it on start up but when running things should be ok as your alternator seems fine


Have you had any work done recently? Had any wires out or earths off?


Earths can be a bastard and give alsorts of faults

Sorry not alot of info, hopefully enough to jog your memory

Volt drop between the alternator and the battery positive. If you get any reading at all there is a problem with the cable of the conectors.

Chech your wiring and connections. If they're damaged or corroded then the power wont travel thru them properly so you'll get a low voltage reading
