Hi
I know that others have reported a similar problem but I cant find an answer.
Recent months battery went flat whilst I was working on car with key in first position. Car 2006 with 116,000 on clock. Changed battery for new one. No problems for 2 months then flattened new battery and had to be jumped off. Tailgate would not work. even after looking at the manual. Took fuses out incase the tailgate was discharging the battery. Replaced them after 3 days. Shortly after alternator started to howl and get warm. Checked and not charging. removed smart plug no change 12.3 volts. Garage fitted new alternator. Now if I have no accessories turned on battery light comes on every 23 seconds for 2 seconds and then goes off. If I turn lights on, no issues. What is the answer please ?
