Hi all, have a slight problem with the scorp 2.9i 12v.. Battery light stays on all the time when the cars running..
i have fitted a new battery and a new alternator but it hasnt fixed the problem.
does anyone have any ideas of what else it could be?
Cheers
Nige?

What type of battery i.e Ah and what type of alternator have you put in........ Is the battery light bright while the engine is running.... or is it a dim light.... going brighter whilst reving the engine or does it go dim whilst reving the engine.........

Hello nige when the light goes dim when reving the engine that indicates the alternator output is lower than the battery output, Whilst the engine is running the battery and the alternator voltage should be the same HTH
