Ok guys i left the car locked and alarmed last night about 2 am then wen i went out 12 hours later battery was dead but had faint battery light
Now ive jumped the car earlier today and drove it to charge batt.
Volt gauge shows 14 when engine running and 12 wen stopped. When igition is on no battery light but soon as ignition off battery light comes on and stays on even wen keys out and ignition . Checked earths on strut tops nd the one behind light im puzzled now

Another thing is now and again with engine off the battery light pulsates slightly then goes to a solid light

Any ideas lads

Sounds like the diode block in the alternators fkd

Well diconected battery last night so it didnt drain. Reconected bwt an hour ago and battery light straight on. I changed the altinator over for a totaly fine working one and still battery lights on.
Surely a battery less than a year old carnt be fuked

ok went through another altinator and also changed the battery earth to behind light and to starter up at finntech. the engines coming out soon to go in new shell in a month or less so seems waste of money to take it to a aut electrion. anyone on here want to make a little on the side and take a look at it for me or point me in direction me ofs of common faulty earths ect
