Battery Light

Hi guys,

My recently purchased Mondeo has developed another fault. I now have an intermittent battery light. The light occasionally comes on about 15 seconds after starting and stays on. If I stop and re-start the engine it goes off and stays off. I've checked the battery connection and the connection to the alternator. This fault doesn't happen every time I start but maybe every couple of days.

Any clues?

    Are you running air con at the time? If yes, then maybe check the drive belt, pulleys and tensioner.

Have you checked both?   including the condition of the thin wires to check one is not broken where it is joined to plug

    Checked all wires on the alternator and they are secure and good clean connections.
