its the positive or earth point for the alternator to the battery i think. just try tightening it

[Robbo]

same problem mate. it doesnt effect battery charging incase your worried about that. only suggestion i can give is superglue... but i used it on mine it only lasted around 100 miles before the light started coming on again (thats if its a little plug thing your talking about not the bolt i can see)

[tazmania_0345]

yea yea mate spot on its like a plug and seems to have come loose so this dose not affect charging ??????
thanks for quick replys guys
i tried pulling it ou and putting it back in is it possible a sensor ???

should just be a plug mate, usually have to press a metal bit in then pull off, which can be a pain

just try pushing it all the way on, can cuase the battery light to come on

have you had the alternator tested, make sure the belt is on tight too

[tazmania_0345]

yea mate had it tested and the belt is fine when i just looked at that plug it was proper loose so will this affect my battery from charging pred ill try and plug it proplerly later . taz .

sorry forgot to metion i think that metal bit your on about pred is broken on mine

[Predator_R32]

may be why its coming on mate, you could just bodge it for now and wrap a load of insulation tape around it to keep it in place whilst you get a spare

It's likely that you don't need a new plug. I had the same old issue with the battery light flickering. It went on for almost a year; I just kept wigging it! LOL. Anyway, if you want to solve it properly, (like I have finally done) you need to unplug that plastic clip part, then you'll notice that the alternator end of the connection has 2 male prongs, and the cable part has the female connections. Take a pointy knife of whatever you can use to get at the female connections, and force them closer together. When you do this correctly, you'll notice that when you plug it back to the alternator, it really presses on hard, and you have a good connection once again! :)
