My Ford Mondeo Edge 2 litre Diesel has been running fine until today all of a sudden the battery light came on and also the ABS light came on and a smell of burning,Managed to get it home but when i came to start it again the car is completely dead,Any ideas ?? i will get the battery tested tomorrow.

pragmatix Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Sounds like a wire may have got burnt, check all the wiring you can see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for your reply,Recharged the battery and started the car but no charge coming from the alternator while i was checking with a voltage meter,So im guessing the alternator is gone as the smell of burning is coming from that area and also sounds very noisy.
