A friend is headed to Florida in his '87 Westy and the battery light
popped on, then off, then a few hours later the battery died. The shop
he was towed to said the newly reman. Napa alternator had failed. The
replacement was installed and the charge voltage checked fine - but now
the battery light stays on. He and the shop tech both claim all wires
are connected fine but this worries him, and me! Since I can't see this
van in person, have you any ideas what might be causing the battery
light to stay lit even though it is charging fine? Could they have
mistakenly connected something wrong? I can't think of anything myself.
Thanks...
