<VV> Noisy Corsa 140

[Frank DuVal]

Like the time I was test driving a Citation and the lights got dim. My internal light bulb went off and I opened the hood quickly and plugged in that two pin connector before the electronic ignition died from low voltage. Yes I forgot to plug it in.

After push starting, checked charging voltage and there were less than 12 volts. All auto parts stores were closed and I was at about  1.5 hours from home. With night approaching quickly, I bought a new and well charged battery, installed it and continue my trip back home, trying to use lights at a minimum possible, to save battery charge. Next morning, when preparing to take off the alternator (internally regulated) found that one of the 2 wires on the twin connector was broken at the terminal. Thought on hammering my head but, it wouldn't not fix the problem which, could be easily fixed on the road if I would pay attention to simplest things.
