Cotswold 0 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The battery on my 110 went completely flat. Charged it up, stuck it back in and when I connected it up the battery indicator light on the dash came on before I even put the key in. When I turned the key that light went out and the others came on. Weirdly I had used the tow hitch just before, but had started it OK after disconnecting. Any ideas? Knackered battery, or something worse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattydski 560 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sounds like a short circuit draining the battery. Look dor damaged cables shorting out on the steelwork. Pull fuses out one by one untill the problem stops, it might narrow it down a bit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fatcontroller 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Your alternator has burnt out the regulator pack which is now shorting the wire which lights up your ignition lamp. The vehicle will need a new alternator, and most likley a new battery. If you take a start battery below 10volts it will not fully recharge. Regards, FC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
