Omega 2.2DTi 2000 Aircon Auto 90,000 miles
Probably should know the answer to this with my experience , but maybe a sparks can enlighten me again
Vehicle has just come in with the battery light glowing dim when you first start, then bright after a few seconds. Charging at 14.2v and 13.8v under load. Battery is 12.6v when switched off
What's causing the light to glow when it appears to be charging, and could it be repaired or exchange alt required
