Help!!! 205 Battery Light

Hi

I have a k reg peugeot 205 diesel the battery light keeps coming on all
the time particularly when I am stopping and starting and when in first
and second gear it stays on constantly then once I build up speed it just
comes on now and again??? Just had a new alternator and battery in the
last 5 months...any ideas what it might be???

 

sounds like the alternator is faulty, just double check all your connections
are clean and tight including the earth strap from your engine to the body.
obviously ensure the belt is tight too.
could be a diode or the regulator breaking down, both of which are part of
the alternator.
dont ignore it because its relatively new, we get cheap and faulty ones all
the time.
if in doubt have an auto electrician test it.

I had the same fault and it turned out to be the alternator. Check and
clean all the connections and make sure the belt is tight.

:
put an extra earth from batt neg to alt body and recheck to verify earth is
ok
same again from live batt term to pos lead into alt to check live supply
if still not charging then alt fault
