I did reply to this thread but the message seems to have not appeared.
Probably i forgot to press send.
Basically you need to check the battery voltage with the engine running.
The W terminal is a pulse output, normally only used on a diesel with a rev
counter.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Charging - or not!!
Went out to the 2+2 and had a flat battery. Seemingly no ignition light on
so charged battery and tried again. Soon was flat again. Checked the light
more carefully and it was glowing slightly increasing in intensity if I put
headlights on. I had missed this as it was nigh on impossible to see in this
good weather. Put a new alternator on as previously had fitted my Xtreme
spare. No difference.
After scratching my head I assume an earthing problem somewhere or high
resistance in wire to charging light. So here's my question. Is there s
favourite place to start looking on the 2+2?
Also I am used to only two wires on the alternator the battery wires and the
ignition light (blue). This car had a third connection onto the W terminal
which I thought was a pulse signal. I couldn't figure what this was for so
didn't connect it on the new alternator and can't spot anything wrong, apart
from not charging!!!! Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Nigel
