Why is my alternator not working on my Peugeot 208?
I have a Peugeot 208 1.2 5 Door hatchback 2015. I have been having a charging issue with the car and first thought was battery. I took the battery for testing and was told it was in good working order. I then purchased a re-manufactured alternator to be fitted by local mechanic.
What does economy mode do on a Peugeot 206?
Economy mode is a Peugeot 206 safety feature which turns off many electrical consumers if there is a battery or alternator problem. Its prime purpose is to conserve electrical energy so the car can be started again if it has to, or enable the car to reach its destination.
Where does the voltage come from on an alternator?
The reading is from the battery with the engine running. On the alternator, there will sometimes be 2 cables, 1 is thick, goes back to the battery, the other is an ‘excite’ wire, that tells it to output voltage. The ‘plug’ I’m assuming is the one that runs back to the battery, is there a metal surface on it you can test voltage with?
What to do if your Peugeot alternator goes bad?
Old school basic suggestion. Check the earth straps. Engine to body and Battery to body. Either one of these having poor contact, high resistance can drop the charging voltage enough to prevent proper charging. Do you get a red battery telltale and/or charging system fault?
Why does the alternator light come on intermittently?
Why does a Peugeot Partner’s alternator light come on intermittently and some systems stop working? The alternator light indicates that the battery is not being charged. A common reason for this is a failing alternator clutch pulley system, if this car has one.
