Can anyone please give me some assistance.
I have a 1994 GS 300 (UK) and have been getting all the warning lights flashing on the dash for a number of weeks (Battery, Brakes, Washer Fluid, Lights etc.)
The other day they came on and have stayed on since. Shortly after the radio went off and the clock went dim. Then the engine started reving on its own between 1000 & 1500rpm. When I turned the ignition off and tried to start it again it had diffuculty starting.
On returning home I checked the battery voltage and it was about 11V so charged the battery and went to the local garage. They put the tester on the battery and told me it was the alternator that was faulty.
I have been checking the battery voltage and it is slowy reducing after a run or being left standing (with alarm on) so I presume the battery is not getting any charge from the alternator. I have checked the output from the alternator to ground and it is reading between 17 & 18V.
I am wondering if the alternator is therefore OK and if there is a problem somewhere between the alternator and the battery.
Can anyone help me and give me some idea what I can check???
Cheers
Andy
