its not just full of muddy water and mud? wash it off with clean water, check the plug on the back as well make sure the wires are connected still, er could be a diode pack gone down causing a permanent short thru the alternator does the light glow faintly when ign off? or just unlucky and alternator has died of old age

if battery light not working that could be the prob the alternator exciting current needs something to do and turning the light on is it, may be the bulb has gone?

Got a non charging alternator on the lightweight no voltage, so wipped it off changed it for the other spare, to find out that its got a permanent charging light :cry:

Seems like things go round in blocks

I've got one more to try now, oh what fun :wink:
