Re: New fan belt, now have red light

I've taken the battery off to give it a charge. 12.4 volts seems a bit low to me.
It'll be back on in an hour or so.
Please keep the advice and ideas flowing!

Hi, Sorry but I've no idea how Internet forums work, so I can't figure out how to reply to you all individually. The battery wasn't disconnected so it can't have been put back on with wrong polarity. The fan belt seems fine, it was a bit snug to fit, but has a bit of free play that needed tensioning...

Re: New fan belt, now have red light

I'll check the connections in the morning. Good idea.
The belt was tight to fit. Even with all the Dynamo bolts slackened, it took some getting onto the pulleys.

Re: Can you ID a cable please

Add a cover to the terminal so you don't accidentally short it out when you are monkeying around under the bonnet. Those metal clamp bars are just asking to touch both terminals at once.
