Good Evening Friends
Today I have incurred a fault with my Fiat Stilo i havent had in the past.
The Alternator Error has come up on the screen, with the Steering light lit on the dash, also the power steering has stopped working
If i am right which i hope i am, the reason the powersteering is not working is due to the alternator fault.
I have replaced the battery for new, as it was due a new battery anyway.
We have been expeiriencing very heavy rain in the last few days so not sure if its damp or moisture in the connections.
I have checked the battery voltage.
Engine off - 12.2v
Engine Idle - 11.2-11.8v
Is there anything i can check on the alternator to see whether its the alternator or a fuse or anything before i send it to the garage for a new alternator..... where would be a common moisture location.
I hope someonne has had this kind of experience or knows of some things to look at.
Regards
