Battery charging issue
Hi,
Sti battery related issue here. Car cut out and not turning over indicating flat battery. New battery fitted and car runs but battery won't hold charge and battery light not showing on dash.
Any key areas to look at to narrow down what the problem might be?
cheers

Its most likely an alternator related fault. Test the voltage output with a multi meter at the alternator with the engine running and should be above 13v. Its also worth checking the earth and power straps from the battery and alternator.
If you have a low reading then its probably down to worn brushes in the alternator.

How easy is it to replace the brushes? Or is it a case of just buy a new one??

Has a tracker fitted but not active and a 3rd party alarm.
Think the battery light in the dash not turning illuminating could be the key.
apart from a blown bulb is there any other reason it wouldn't light up???
