Hi
I drive a 2005 3.0 d4d and had a problem with the battery, was old over five years, recharged the battery and no luck, the alternator light came on, so replaced the battery, the light was still on and then died permanently. Checked if the alternator was charging on luck, replaced the regulator alternator light came on and refuses to go of please help do i need to replace the alternator.
Thanks

It's either your charge indicator wire not connected to the alternator or your diode pack in the alternator has gone.

Also think it's the diode pack. Try Diesel electric.

Re: Alternator Light stays on
I had a similar problem with my older d4d (2006 2,5 ) and found the problem with the wiring loom which runs across the bottom front of the engine.The wires had got brittle with age and one of the wires broke off.I simply soldered a small piece of wire to join the brocken wire so not to have any strain on the joint.My electrical fault was on the passenger side of the loom under the engine front.
I hope you come right. Good luck.
