Is it running flat (while driving)? or is it going flat when you've parked the car?

Take it to a battery place and ask them to test out your battery. The one I go to - Globe batteries on Davies Rd - often test my battery and alternator etc. They can tell you straight away whats wrong (if its battery or alternator). When I buy any car or straight after my conversion I take it there to make sure I wouldn't get stranded at night on a lonely road ...


If your light doesn't come on and its less than 12 volts (what is the maximum voltage that the light comes on?) while running, then definately look at the plug. First look at the wire from the battery + to the alternator as 2 weekends ago I did an alternator change on Kylie's corona only to find when I put the thick wire on that it wasn't healthy, so I put another ring thingmy on it, soldered it up well and put it on. 14.4 volts now Smile
