Hi all
I’ve had some issues with my dash where the backing light no longer works and I therefor can’t see the speedo/ fuel/ rev needles at night. The odometer is also not working. I’ve had the unit inspected and ‘repaired’ however still no joy.
I measured the battery voltage today with the vehicle off at 12.36 volts. When the car was running this climbed up to 13.8 and wouldn’t get any higher.
I understand with the alternator on voltage should be 14.2v+. There is a strange noise coming from the engine bay, sort of like a chaffing noise and I’ve had a couple of other electrics play up recently namely the passenger electric window not working and and radio cuttting on and off.
All fuses look ok and there’s no obvious wiring issue. So my question is does this sound like alternator problems given the voltage being produced?
The vehicle has a 1KZTE engine and is the 3.0l.
Cheers
