Thanks William. If I disconnect that small wire, I measure 11.5V, and the battery has a healthy 12.5V. My question is where is the brains behind all of this?. The light on the dash is an LED on a PCB. I doubt that has failed. So if the exciter wire is disconnected the alternator doesn't charge...

Too many alternator threads without an ending!! Mine still not charging. Alternator is OK. The module on the back is only a rectifier? O have the same question, where is the voltage regulator? There is a single small (control?) wire that plugs into side of alternator. In addition, my battery...

I can confirm that it is possible to remove the alternator (pulley first) through the aperture created by simply removing the black portion of the grille. No bumper, no slam panel. And yes, because I had removed my alternator before reading these posts and hadn't used a hose clamp, it is quite...

So having read other threads about alternator removal/refitting and tricks with hose clamps on the belt tensioner and stories about jacking the engine and removing the bumper and the slam panel and ...... - maybe necessary if you are replacing the belt, but even then I have my doubts. I want to...

So, alternator removed (see detail in next post), faulty regulator replaced, alternator replaced, now charges but battery warning light still does not light up prior to starting engine.

I have the dash completely disassembled and the 'bulb' is an LED. Would be very surprised if this is the problem. Now to look elsewhere. I have the instrument panel completely disassembled and the 'bulb' is an LED. Would be very surprised if this is the problem. Now to look elsewhere.

Without taking anything apart yet. Turn ignition on, all dash warning lights light up and then go away, except battery light which doesn't come on at all. Remove 2-pin plug at back of alternator. Only one white wire and what appears to be an unused pin with a cut-off green wire. Measured 11.25V...

Same problem...... will look for small wire. Any fuse involved?

Another grateful reader. Thanks to original posts on page 1. A tip for aligning the cogs is to hold the panel gently in place and operate the air direction controls backwards and forwards and the temperature from max to min (with IGN ON) and the cogs will drop into place as the servo motors...
