hi,
I have some theories on why my battery light comes on, then the revometer goes, along with water and fuel guage but not speedometer!
This is on my cinqucento sporting abarth 95. It has an ecu so I am going to disconnect and re connect that to try reset, also same time as battery . . .
Obviously, I am hoping it is not a failing alternator!
It only seems to happen in lower gear, ie, when I have not go enough revs, say, going around a roundabout etc, so I keep the revs high and usually the battery light does not come on.
When it is on, it is brighter when I apply the brakes. Indicators alos stop working although the hazard lights still work
Also, there is no drop in performance of the engine, everything runs fine. So If it is just an electrical malfunction, its nothing too serious, then why does it start when I run in lower revs . . .
Any ideas appreciated! Is this a Cinq thing!?
