Battery not charging

Recommended Posts

Have a problem with my 1.8 16v. Don't have any charge going to battery when running. Dash light not working either. I have changed alternator and voltage regulator on back of alternator but still same. Is there a relay connected to charge system. It was working ok. Car starts and runs ok. Got me puzzled !!!.
