juligan Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Hey, when i have the lights on at night in my ke55 the charge light comes on. The car also often stalls itself if u leave it in drive without the choke out when u are stopped at traffic lights with the headlights on. Do u have any ideas what it could be, or how to fix it?

Taz_Rx Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sounds like your alterantor is on the way out. Can get it reco'd for around $100-$150, buy a sceond hand one for like $20, or buy a new one...there's one on egay at the mo for like $60. :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calaissix Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 is it internal regulator or external,if its external it may be in the regulator ,which means changing the alternator probably will have no effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimpoole Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I had the same problem with my car, but fortunately not as bad as yours. I have same model, same year. If for whatever reason she doesn’t want to go (choke not right, flooded, etc), as I am starting it, the battery will go very flat, very quick. I took out the alternator and had it tested, but it came back ok. I whacked the multimeter on the battery terminals and found that the battery is slowly being drained when it is not running. I don’t know what is draining the battery and I don’t really want to. Due to the nature of your problem I can’t make any suggestion to you other to check your alternator. If anyone has any suggestions can they please contact me, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juligan Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yeah, my battery drains quickly aswell. If it got flodded, or just wouldnt start in the cold the battery would drain quickly. I replaced the battery thinking that would fix the dharge light issue, but i still have the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budowski Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I had the chage light problem in my KE30 found it was a dirty rusty earth cable bolting point at the chassis on the LH engine bay rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
