Hey Craig.

Have checked all fuses and all are in order and contacting correctly.

Did you check them on both sides with a test light? They can be a right pain in the arse sometimes. Other thing to check would be the fusible link at the starter motor.

Yeah I used my Multimeter to check the connectivity and they were all fine.

I was under the impression that if the fused wire was blown to the starter, the car would not start at all. ??

Mine starts fine, just doesn't charge, and the charge light doesn't come on..........although it has come on once.....but not since.

Have you tried shorting the wire from the alternator to the light.  This will confirm if the bulb is fine or not.
 
Other then that take your alternator to a sparky for a quick (free) test and see if that is the issue.
 
Can't be too hard.  Might just be the bulb on it's last legs too.

Thanks Matt.
 
Would shorting the charge light wire from the alternator straight to the globe do anything?. From what "Knightime" was saying, if the globe isn't working, then the alternator will never charge. To me this insinuates that the problem is a little deeper than the globe not working (IE a blown globe).
 
Im also pretty certain the alternator should be OK (or more to the point not the problem). Clearly I could be wrong, but the alternator that was in there was not showing any signs of playing up (in fact it looks like it was recoed not too long ago), and the replacement alternator I put in the afternoon also demonstrated the exact same symptoms.
 
Obviously I could have two dodgy alternators, but again referring back to Knightime.......the alternator seems to be a symptom of an underlying problem, not a cause.
 
Anyone got any more idea or solutions they can throw up?. Im still grappling with this one.

Hi Dave, If you take the charge light wire off the alternator terminal and with the ignition on (but engine not running and touch the to the body of the alternator the charge light will be on if not the globe is blown.
 

Thanks Peter.
 
All other electrical issues aside, im quite sure the actual globe itself is working.
 
When I put the second alternator in, I accidentally hooked the charge light wire to the wrong terminal on the back of the alternator (as pictured below.)

Now as much as I have no idea what this did electrically, when I turned the ignition OFF, and removed the key, the charge light came on.
 
Again, I have no idea electrically what was happening here, but I did prove that the globe itself was actually working.
 
I have since returned it the AUX terminal, which I believe is the right one.
 
What little hair I have left is being pulled out!.

Dave,  The charge light should be connected to the IND terminal  IND means INDicator, the AUX usually has a suppressor connected to it

Yeah, what he said.
 
 

ahhh ok cool. My previous post must have had them around the wrong way. Previous to the current charging issues, it was working fine, so I assume it must have been in the right slot.
 
Either way, it was odd to see the charge indicator turn ON when I turned the ignition all the way and removed the key.!
