c3 battery warning light

Post by spigven »

Hello all,

My daughter has an 03 reg C3 1.4 petrol which she has owned for one year and in that time its been trouble free. Today however I borrowed it and the battery warning light came on solid as I was driving. It was raining and I had lights and wipers on etc. I pulled over and stopped the engine and waited a minute or two then restarted but the warning light remained on. I switched off the lights and put the wipers onto intermittent and continued on. The light stayed on solid for another few minutes until I got home and switched off the engine. Ten minutes later I tested the voltage across the battery which was 12.4 engine off and 14.4 engine running however the warning light had cleared at this stage ?

I can find nothing meaningfull using the forum search facility, there is a fair amount of unresolved comment on the web though, any ideas ?

Thanks

Mark
