Technical fiat ducato 2007 not charging

[AlexGR]

i guess the L-DFM cable is this. If yes, seems very easy to be cut off.

Yes

Part of this connector is still on the alternator

However the other end, the cable, is floating around dangerously somewhere

Found the cable hanging around the alternator. Reason of not having even worst troubles was that its insulation part was longer than the cable itself. So it couldn't touch any part of the engine.
Now it's wrapped up with insulation tape tired it up on the alternator's positive cable. So, it's not moving around. Do you think there might be any issue with induction with the alternator positive cable?
Tomorrow I will visit an electrician shop for further fix.

Found though another cable which seems to be manually disconnected (on both ends) for some reason. This might be related to habitation electricities.

That's great news

It could so easily all ended very badly

We will have to wait until the damaged wiring has been fixed, there's a good chance it will fix everything

Fingers crossed

Simple answer is No!

Today I visited Fiat official service to get a price quote for the cable. As I was informed they do not sell this cable itself as standalone. They only sell the entire bunch of cables which costs around 600 euros.
As per their advice, the cable could be repaired by an electrician though. So I booked a service in an electrician shop on Thursday.
They also confirmed that this broken cable is 100% the root cause of the issue.

Yes as previously suggested by myself and at least twice by @koalar .

Going slightly off topic

But @AlexGR problem is a very good example where taking the time and trouble to post a few videos and pictures really did help enormously

Of course the credits goes to all of you. Thank you million of times. If it wasn't you (I stated already to my previous post), local electricians would have probably requested to replace everything (with no reason) until they fix the problem. As for me, I was only the info collector. Nothing more.

I just mentioned about the local Fiat electrician info to confirm YOUR success...

Thanks again and again!!

Issue solved, once the cable was fixed.

Thanks again!
