Having an issue with my KZJ95.
Dual battery set up, not enough juice to start after work today but jumped with 12v jump pack on the driver side battery. I had been driving around all day on and off and thought id just not left it long enough running to recover, but it didnt start again once id driven for 30 mins after work. No charge light on the dash unless I switch the lights, AC and radio all on at once, then the dash lights up like a Christmas tree.
At idle I get 11.4 volts (measured at the battery terminals on both batteries) This doesn't change when revs are increased, but drops to around 10v when I switch the lights on. I am leaning towards a knackered alternator, but I haven't checked the output, can anyone give me a walk-through on where to stick the test leads please? I'd rather check and confirm before shelling out on a new alternator.
Thanks
Checked 100A fuse and looks ok
