Hi all,
So some of you have been a really big help with troubleshooting my leisure battery and gave me a lovely warm fuzzy feeling of being helped! Many thanks.
I have now just put the new leisure battery in (fully charged) and my one year old starter batter (also fully charged) into the van - hey presto - the van bursts back into life and all appeared well until...
After about 30 seconds with engine on and idling , the battery light on my dash starts to faintly illuminate! The minute i hit the acceleration pedal - it goes away again. This faint illumination of battery light didn't happen before I changed the batteries - so whats the most likely explanation?
Do I need to check the wiring from alternator to battery incase I've pulled it a bit more than I should have or disturbed it in some other way?
I'm hoping that someone out there can just go - 'Oh you've probably just..... blah blah'
Thanks,
Melissa
