Battery issues - Alternator fuse?

Featured Replies

HI All,

 

I drained my batter by leaving my dashcam in the 12v : (

 

Since then I have had real issue resulting in a new alternator just last week however I came to start the car this morning and I had a flat battery.

 

The battery has been checked, we have a new alternator but I read on this forum there is a fuse for the alternator... I am buggered if i can locate it from the handbook any ideas? None of the fuses in the engine comparment seem to be visibly damaged I havent removed them all.

 

Recharging the battery to take to the garage that fitted the alternator now but wanted to check the fuse first.

 

Thank you!

Can you post a picture of the fusebox under the bonnet, including the face that's nearest the front of the car if poss.

I believe it's part of this chunk here, that all the heavy-gauge wires bolt to.  Often the left-most stud, I think. (see if that wire goes to the alt.).

If you have 12V on each of those studs I'd say the fuses are all intact.  Careful not to short anything out while checking.
