Just a quick question, how do I run the ipk test with the engine running? I know how to use it with the engine off! (I was running the test with the engine off d'oh!).
Thanks again folks ��

Hi mate, just start the engine as normal, then go through the procedure on the obd 😎

Holy thread revival Batman!

So I finally got the obd dongle to work. The voltage reads 14/14.2 with the engine running. Switching on the aircon drops it to 13.4ish. Turning the hazard lights on drops it to 13.1, and the bulb failure warning light turns on. I'm guessing it means there is a fault but I don't know where.
Any advice please!
All the best,
Dale

Hi Dale,

I suspect that the regulator in your refurbished alternator is faulty.

With the engine NOT running, remove and inspect the 150A fuse in the engine fusebox.
It is not unknown for dobbers to replace a blown alternator fuse by a piece of wire, and put the blown fuse back on top, to hide the wire
