Hey guys & gals,
I have a '93 200tdi defender. When it starts, the battery light stays on then soon dims to a 20% (just visable) constant glowing.
When cold, the battery measures a good 12-13Volts across the terminals, and a suitable increase is noticable when the engine is started, indicating that the alternator & battery are functioning correctly.
At the moment I am assuming (hoping & wishing) that the glowing is due to current leakage from another circuit. Does anyone have any ideas about this type of issue, is it an early warning that the alternator will die on me soon, or is this one of those annoying things I am just going to have to live with?
Any comments greatly appreciated.
