Hi all, This vehicle has been presented to us by another garage with charging issues. The vehicle has already had fitted a new alternator and battery. The 120amp alternator fuse had blown in the engine bay fuse box. With the fuse replaced and the alternator + lead disconnected the output is 23.5 volts at the alternator. When connected this blows the charge fuse. They suspected this was the alternator and so changed it. (still the same) The alternator warning light circuit is in tact and operates the light and the other feed to the alternator to energise it is battery voltage. Does any one know if there is a charge control unit or similar on these vehicles or is the alternator ecu controlled to vary the charge output? Or a charge wiring diagram would be helpful. Many thanks Phil
