Title: Earth Wire
Post by: ali on 22 September 2009, 18:08:40

After changing the alternator Im still having problems. I think its an Earth problem and suspect the Earth from the neg termanal, to underneath the battery tray. ( remodified to get alternator out  :D ) Im not 100% sure I have put everything back correct as had to do it over several days. What wires should be attached under the tray and how do I test that it is a faulty earth wire from the battery. I had a real job to get alternator out and could well have damaged something :-[ :-[

Quick check if the symptoms are always present is to stick a jump lead from -ve batt terminal to a suitable earth point on engine

I have to admit I do not have any jump leads :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[have been meaning to get some for ages. I dont have any neighbours to borrow any :(, but will have a look in the garage to find something to test the earth with. Or take the earth lead off the petrol estate :y
