No Charge?

Post by meggles »

T4 1.9 TD. If I use a volt meter and conect across the battery terminals I get just over 11 volts. If I connect from the heavy terminal on the alternator and then to earth I get nearly 15 volts. I am supposing that the alternator is fine but there is a fault in the wiring. Am I correct? Any help appreciated. This has been an ongoing problem so I am getting somewhat pee'd off now. I need to/will get to Seaton Ross for the easter weekend and would prefer to get back as well! :roll:
BTW, a 5 mile run did nothing for the charge in the battery. :x

Is the alternator cable conected to the battery feed to the starter solenoid.. could be dissconnected or corroded... (I'm assuming it is wired the same as most other vehicles...)
