Yes 😋 I had seen that info on your link ty

 

If the warning light is damaged, it no longer reads with the alternator, right? And even then it lets the 12v pass through the green cable ?

Apologies Joob, I didn't mean to mislead you, I spent too much time looking for that link again that you already had and were editing into your post as I was linking it into mine.  😄  I was just off to bed when I saw you posted again and could not remember how to link to the post instead of the thread. and kept linking to the thread.  I should have went to bed earlier. 😄

Guys, I have already found the problem.

 

I did the green cable test (nta16 thanks for the link and the tip of green cable), connected it to the negative and it did indeed turn on the battery light (on the panel).

That is, as I had already changed the regulator (new) and still did not work, the problem is definitely the alternator, I will order a new one.

If it still doesn't work I'll let you know here 😛 (with the new one) kakak

 

Thanks to Everyone for the Help !

I've never experienced a "blown bulb" on a car with control wires.

 

I have, one bulb ''burned'' (was for the beam) inside the dashboard.

I didn't see the regulator of tensor.

Under of alternator ?

 

Something is WRONG, the belt must not be under the pulley !

The grooves must touch the pulley, now it's in reverse, who did this? 😲

The arrow shows the tension pulley, from there you can make things ''loose'' and work for example change the belt etc.

With the help of a lever and a hexagon socket you push a little bit and you have the proper cm to work.

No, that type of post is very different from mine...mine is from a European car, that's why it changes for sure.
The tensioner on this belt should be the pulley with the letter T.

Then I will have to relieve the tensioner to loosen the mail, it is like the timing belt in cars.

I thought this alternator had a manual regulator and then bolt it on at the same time.

 

From the little that I can see from the photograph:

 

It is a different set up to the diagram and does not have the AC pump. (first diagram, joobs reply overlapped mine)

 

The poly V's on the belt are in contact with the pulley.

 

The roller shown is an idler pulley, it may be a sprung tensioner pulley or if it is fixed then belt adjustment would be effected by rotating the alternator on the pivot bolt shown.

 

The latter i am unsure of from a small photo and not knowing the engine set up.

yeah, it's like me, I've never touched this belt on this engine, I've changed the head gasket etc... but never the belt 😛

No, it's how it should be, it's how it came out of factory. Grooves must not touch the pulley - but kits that added pump or compressor above the alternator often used non-standard solutions.

Yes, under the alternator is a black cylinder with short shaft poking out of it. You need an open ended spanner to release the tensioner.

I have never seen in the past a Felicia belt this way that's why i reacted, here is mine, not good photos but due to A/C and power steering wheel things look different.

I am just waiting for the material to arrive, around Monday, and when I assemble it, I will tell you the final result of the problem.

It really is totally different from mine.

Mine doesn't have air conditioning, it only has heating.

 

This picture is not of my car, but it looks just like my car.

Check the mine alternator/belt.

Yes, it's hidden under the alternator and routes the belt away from the crankshaft pulley and back to the coolant pump.

Yep, these conversions usually used the pulley pictured on Joob's photo to wrap the belt around the extra pulley, but on the factory setup, it was used as additional support between the alternator and coolant pump, probably to reduce vibrations.

Ohh I saw a picture of the engine from the side.

Just ease the pulley further out on the right side ?

The belt goes like this in the car, you need to move the pulley to the left (towards the coolant pump/crankshaft).

You need a spanner to turn the shaft poking through tensioner spring assembly (yellow arrow)

I just need a spanner where the red arrow is now, to rotate the shaft.

I have never swapped on this machine before.

Very thkss for the info !

I have this picture here.
For example, I loosen the screw and with a wrench (that black part that is around the screw.), I turn the tensioner downwards (or to one side), and it loses a little tension, right? and as soon as I release it, it gains tension, right?

If you've been using the car regularly since the alternator problem started I would also now check the state of charge of the battery.

 

Even though it is a new battery it is still just an energy store so if a lot more has been taken out from it than is put back in it will be discharged to some extent, the fact that it is new has benefits though.

 

To check will only take a few minutes at most and is easy, after the car has been sitting for a few hours, or better still the next morning or day from it being driven, do not start the engine, put the headlights on for say 20-30 seconds then switch them off and take a reading, you can then see if and what recharging might be required, if any.

 

in the UK at least, we are now into cooler weather and less daylight and with even less daylight and more cold to come I think it is best to have the car battery prepared sooner rather than later then you can forget about it in normal circumstances.
