Morning everyone.Hope someone can help me withthis odd problem,
When i turn the ignition to position 1 all the usual warning lights come on but the battery light goes out almost immediately before i crank the engine.When i drove home from work yesterday (about half an hour) and then tried the ignition, the battery light came on as usual and stayed on as normal.However this morinng i had the same thing with the battery light going out before starting.I fired the car up and drove a few yards and the battery light flickered a few times (witrh relay clicking sound).
The alternator is less than 3 years old and the heavy duty battery is less than 2 yars old.
The car cranks with good power so the battery seems to be ok.
Any ideas what might be the cause?
One thing to mention is that when i drive on wet roads the alternator light comes on for a short while before going out again.It has always done this.
I'd be grateful for any info.
Many thanks.
