That could be your issue, without telling you how to suck eggs (Sorry if I am), but the wiring puts 12V through the bulb to the alternator, which at rest goes to earth (switch ignition on, bulb lights), but once the alternator start to turn it uses the difference in the voltage between that it has direct from the battery compared with what is coming down the the ignition warning light wire to know it has to charge. That is all not quite strictly true but in essence that what it does.robcoles":287sv5gi said:The warning light hasn't came on ?? I have the original mini warning lights so it's possible the bulb has blown

That's a given, did you look at the diagrams or do they just look like spaghetti to youDanny":huqriehz said:(i know sod all about electrics)
Do you have a multimeter, if so it's s simple circuit,robcoles":huqriehz said:At this point I'm thinking check all connections if that don't work call an auto electrician
