Evening all. The alternator light is on my dash, however the alternator is giving the correct output. What causes the alternator light to come on and how do I switch it off?

 

is the belt tight enough?

 

Probably still an alternator issue. or the ind feed is going straight to earth

 

Thanks for the replys Yea belts on as it should. It was fine until I removed it to change the air con pump its been on since I put it back together.

 

I know its going to be something stupid

 

Whats the ind feed?

 

does it stay on with ignition off if so its the doide inside alt it will flatten battery

 

No its goes off with the ignition

 

Is the battery light on by itself or do you have the handbrake light lit as well ?

i have both lit on my classic but no output at the battery end, its being refurbed this week, new diode/regulator and brushes etc.

do you get full 14+ volts at battery ?

 

check the alternator earth. Run a wire from the alternator body to the battery neg

 

i second this aswell..
