Mornin all,
So the other night, the Speedo and headlights wouldn’t work, then the car wouldn’t start. After charging the battery up, it was once again starting fine and dash/headlights operational.
My alternator is not charging and could this be that it is not exciting? I was testing the wire between the alternator and then I checked the battery voltage again and it started showing 13.5 volts on the multimeter (engine still running). However, once I turned off the engine off and back on again the voltage from the battery was showing 12.7. Ever since, there are no signs of the alternator charging the battery.
the connection between wire from the starter to alternator looks corroded on the alternator end.
if a kind soul could please help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!
