    Thin cable excites the alternator to make a change. So light should be on with ignition. Once running the charge should turn out the light. Make sure little cable goes on little connector. The 2 large lugs are joined

    Yes, red light stays on when running Voltage on battery is 12.3v at moment and doesn’t change when engine revs. To be fair the battery hasn’t had a charge for many starts and a 5 mile test drive with red light on so not surprised it’s only...

    And does the red light stay on when running , have you measured voltage on battery when engine running Have you got 12v on the thin lead when it’s disconnected from alternator , red bulb should come on when you earth the thin lead

    I would add a second earth strap to the chassis from engine if not got one already as the engine and gearbox sits on rubber mounts

    So warning light is on with ign on but engine not running? Then when you start the engine the warning light stays on? Sure the warning light wire is on the correct terminal? pic of the back of the alt might help someone pinpoint your issue.
