Good day ladies and gents,
My 95' Peugeot Boxer has the battery/alternator light coming up since I've bought it. It's pretty dim when I first start the van and it lights up when I'm accelerating or when I turn anything on.
Suspecting on the alternator or voltage regulator I took it to get rebuilt, brought it back and the light still shows up... I was getting about 13.7v before now I get a solid 14v when I check the battery... I've noticed that I only get 13.3v on the leisure battery though, which seems to be enough to charge the battery but it makes me wonder.
What do you guys think? I've checked the belt tension, belt itself seems to be OK but thinking on replacing it anyways just to rule that out..
My plan is to check grounds, I'll probably grab a jumper cable and test different points on the chassis from the negative post on the battery, also disconnect the leisure, etc...
It's not an issue for me as I know the system is charging but since I have to do the CVRT soon, I want to get it sorted before I book my date.
What can you guys recommend?
Cheers,
Rami
