 Guessing this must be something to do with the alternator getting mud in??what should I be checking??
 Thanks in advance!

					aprentice at work drove his navara on the beach.the alt has full charge but the light is on.he checked the plugs etc and most modern cars use relays in the warning light system.
 
 auto elec has told him to replace the brushes and clean the slip rings due to the sand powder inside.
 
 to me that dont make sence as the charge rate is spot on but its fixed it.
