Fans and Battery Light

[syndicccells]

Came to start my car today in the frost, started first time. Put the hot air fans on full (which i do most days without any problem) and about 2 mins later fans stop working entirely. About 5 miles later the battery light came on but the car was running fine.

Do you reckon its just a blown fuse or something else?

Definetly alternator mate.

[syndicccells]

Really?!

Theres no other fault on the car, the rest of the electrics work fine and the engine runs fine. Just no fans and the battery light being on.

[syndicccells]

Serious? Why alternator?

[Claireeyy]

its the alternator. have you checked your rear window demister too?
these stop working when the battery is not giving the car enough power. I think it needs to be 13v. you need to search though as this has been answered so many times before

[syndicccells]

Ah ok,

will search through now

[syndicccells]

Turns out alternators need a belt!!!

[Claireeyy]

That's not to bad then :y: cheaper than an alternator
