Hi folks , it's been one thing after another with this car recently . 08 antara s 2.0 cdti. It was parked up for a while because mot had expired I had tried to sell it but people were offering silly money without mot. To cut the saga short I mot d it and was putting it up for sale when the battery light came on . Thought maybe it was battery after lying up but it tests ok . The light goes out on startup and comes on about a minute later , only reading 11.8 and dropping on meter . Checked b pole on altenator and it's reading same as battery so obviously it's not producing anything. I have pulled the plug from the altenator which contains two wires. Am I correct in assuming that one of these carries the wake up signal to the altenator? Given that train of thought ,with ignition on and light meter clipped to neg in battery I should get a light at one of the two wires in plug? Or am I going about it the wrong way? If I'm correct and there is nothing showing on either wire where do I go from here? Picture of plug attached
TIA
