Jon66 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I’ve had both the battery and alternator changed, but about 1 minute after starting driving the battery light comes on and the auto stop/start turns off. I’ve tested the battery and alternator with the engine running, and it’s staying steady at 14.5V even when engine revved, any ideas what could be the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your title is also confusing, that year is 900 years in the future LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tested the voltage whilst the battery light is on and with a decent load such as the headlights on? If you had the work done at a garage I'd say take it back. They may not have got all the connections tight and secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
