04 1.3 Electrical Problems!!!! - Roartoon
Hi,

I've been having electrical problems with my KA 2004. On accelaration the headlights glow brighter and on decelaration the headlights dim.

I took it to my local mechanic who tested the alternator and recommended changing it as the regulator was broken and was charging the system at 19.2v.

I have now had alternator changed and the problem still persists.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

I suppose that the regulator is integral with alternator. Is the new alternator charging at 19.2 volts ?
I suspect a duff battery.
