This morning when I started the car the battery light started flashing, had a quick search on here and most people said it was the alternator and to check the voltage.
Started driving and the light went off after a few minutes. Got to work and was able to check the voltage with a multimeter.
Whilst running it was over 14v, fairly consistent
After turning the car off it dropped to around 13.13v and stayed there
I plan to check it again before I go home as the car has only been sat for hour and half (not sure if that makes a difference or not)
Seems like the battery is okay and the alternator is okay, could this be a case of an issue with the wiring leading up to the alternator, there is some sort of chunky cable which leads to it?
Anything else I should check/test then please let me know.
