Battery light constantly on

 · 
Posted: 28.09.2020  ·  #1
We have a Swift Suntor 590RS 2006 motorhome (Fiat Ducato). To start with the battery light kept flashing on and off, plus the reversing camera kept flashing on now and again. Now the battery light is permanently on, and reversing camera does not come on at all but have checked the battery and the alternator seems to be working ok as it is putting charge in when tested with meter, plus I drove home from Yorkshire to Bedfordshire with the light on and no problems.

Has anyone got any ideas what could be causing this fault.

Any help would be appreciated.

Your alternator might be charging but that doesn’t mean your batt is still good ,you need to put a lot of load on 5he batt without the engine running ,turn your ignition on but don’t start 5he van, turn all lights radio and whatever else you think will us3 your power and see how much power your loosing with a meter 👍

The printed circut on the dash gave trouble on the ducato,on one of my older vans the charging was glowing for years.
