I also posted this on the Electric forum but ...
Once I start my Verde, the Bosch alternator does not seem to begin recharging. Testing the battery shows 12-12.5 - the same as without the car running. It is only after I connect an alligator clip to the positive post, and touch the alternator lead can I "hear" it kick in and volts are up to 13.5 - 15.
As there an alternator light somewhere I'm missing? What else signals the alternator to start charging? Thanks in advance.
