Hi all,

The title says it all really,

it doesn't seem to affect the car i just don't know if it actually is...

Cheers peeps

Check that the two wire connecter at the top centre of the alternator has clean terminals and is secure, if you have the OE connector in place (many have been chopped off and converted to spade connectors) it is possible to open it up and clean the terminals.

Check the tension of the alternator belt :)

Check the back of the starter motor, the engine could be shifting enough that the down pipe is hitting the live terminal and shorting it out

could it just be the belt slipping when on boost?

this is what i thought...

im at work the next few days so i dont have time to check

but il check the connectors asap.

Maybe a stupid question but what does the light actually mean? is it low voltage?

the lamp show the voltage different beetwen battery and alternator.
when the alternator works good, the voltage is 14V and in the battery is same the light off. alternator isn't charge but the battery is 12V the lamp is go on.
