Battery light

[Vixpy1]

The Battery light has started flickering occasionally. It seems a bit random, the car starts on the button every time. Its a 500 Serp.

Any ideas chaps?

Mine did this before my alternator BBQ`ed itself or your 100amp fuse need replacing

wasn't sure the chim had a 100amp fuse, where is it on the Chim?

also only seems to do it when being thrown round corners and over large humps, which I guess indicates a loose connection somewhere.

Next to the starter motor in a small black box red wires connect it.

When it's gone pop it looks like this - mine had exactly the same symptoms as you described but it slowly got worse - I assumed it was a duff alternator then someone tipped me off to the 100A fuse

Clicky

I swapped mine for a midi style fuse (bought the holder from Steve Heath)
