on my ecort rst the alternator started to over charge and then give up know i have no battery light on dash takern cluster out changed bulb didnt look blown and still have no ignition light any one had this probllem old alternator still on car didnt know if i should have ignition light with ignition on and not running with a broken alternator put multimeter on it and its not charging

 

if you have no power at the battery light then the alternator will not charge as the power loops around through the clocks, check the track on the clocks were the bulb goes and see if theres any power there, check the track hasnt blown on the membrain.

 

Hi mate check the thin blue wire going from the alternater to the dash light, this wire is prone to breaking burning and will stop the dash light from coming on and stop charging. i had to run a seperate wire from the back of the dash to the alternator
Hope you get it sorted

 

Don't do any of the above, first establish if the alternator is ok or not.
With engine running touch a LIVE feed onto the "IND" terminal on the back, the terminal to which the blue wire goes, whilst watching a metre and if you see charging then start the alternator is ok, if not the alternator is duff.
Another check even simpler is too see if the IND terminal is EARTH without engine running, it should be, if no earth is present the alternator is duff.
If all checks out check live and earth at bulb holder as one will be missing, unless another blown bulb.

Ive had this problem on a few occasions, the blue wire has corroded, snapped or melted due to turbo heat. Usually where it loops from the alternator to the starter loom.
