wee problem

[macc nova]

Right ive changed my alternator recently and once changed the alternator and brake lights havent been fuctional even though the car has been starting first time, i was meaning to take it to the auto electrician yesterday but when i stopped at the petrol station the battery was dead and wouldnt start. any help or pictures with wiring as i put it back exactly how i found it???

[Stoo]

did u tension the belt correctly?

[macc nova]

yeah belt is fine

[bump]

Put the earth back on?

What he said/\
Sounds like you've forgot the alternator earth cable.
As the lights both earth through the alternator.

[macc nova]

nope earths are fine, i went to the auto electrician earlier and he said that the actual alternator was faultly so changed it back to my old one, all the lights are working as they should, so ive just got to wait until the battery has recharged and hope that solves it, fingers crossed

[Adam]

Aye, if earths fine, alternator is indeed fooked.
Rectifier pack or something gone in it.

why did you change it if its fine??

[macc nova]

because it squeels like a slapper lol

[Plug]

thats would have been the belt

[burgo]
