Alt/batt light follow up...frustration
Posted by Judge Edo (more from Judge Edo) on Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:44:53

I recently had a problem with my batt light coming on under 2500 rpms on startup, which turned into on all the time. Since then Ive added 2 more alt ground wires yet the alt light wont be consistant. Sometimes it turns on before I try starting, Ill drive then realize it isnt charging. The bulb is good all other dash lights come on and Id hope the ground is good now. I have looked at the small green wire and cleaned the spade connector a bit. why wont the alt light come on/alt charge. it was fine until 4 days ago. Any input is appreciated.
