Battery illumination????????

escort lwt · Feb 15, 2004

Hello. I have a H reg Escort, 1.6 lx. It,s been serviced, had new leads recon alternator, new battery etc. My problem is that the battery light comes on whilst i am driving, sometimes dimly but can be quite bright. Can anyone solve this mystery? It's driving me nuts!!!!!!!! Any advice greatly appreciated.

The regulator in the alternator may not be seated properly check the voltage output with a multimeter.

Fan belt a little loose and slipping ??

dose the light get brighter when the lights are all on ? if so the alternator is not charging enough

could be either the battery indicator wire is broken

Many Thanks To All Replies. Figured I Had To Get Another Alternator As All Signs Lead To This, I Tried Two Recon One's And Both Were Faulty!!!! Awaiting The Arrival Of A New One Tomorrow. Fingers Crossed. !!!!!!!!!!!
