Electrical probs urgent advice please

Post by ewan221 »

Driving home in boxster now. New battery in car today. Before new battery no warning lights but reversing lights on constant. While driving home battery light was flickering on every now and again so stopped and now it on constant. Have called AA but any advice would be great

Needs an alternator check TBH, could be lose connection, slack belt or any manner of things.

Reversing lights probably just the switch. There underneath in the muck so need replacement now & then. Not expensive to fix. Alternators can be rebuilt a lot cheaper than getting a new one from Porsche. There all basically the same. Just don't mention the "P" word. :)
