alternator probs

[boycarp]

right changed the alternator after the old one ate it's bearings. but now everything seems to be working ok but the timing belt light and the filter light are on and the alternator light stays on after the engine is running.  

not to sure why it might be like this theres no wires not connected or anything like that

suspect duff alternator?

timing belt light may be co-incidental, when was the belt last done?

might be worth taking out and cleaning off the alternator.. get a multimeter on it and check the output (14.4v min?)

good luck!
