Shoild be 12.2-12.6V when car off. With the engine on it should measure >14V if the alternator is working. Check the cabling to the alternator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kink Member 294 Member For: 15y 8m 13d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 20/02/19 06:29 AM Share Posted 20/02/19 06:29 AM Ok so no increase in measurement (minor) when the car is on. When I get home I'll have to check the alternator properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm facing the same issue and CBF pulling the fuse out all the time. Due to COVID the car is sitting at home more than normal so probably a good time to remove the ICC and replace what ever needs replacing Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
