You can set the intellistart to start your car when the battery starts getting low are you sure your altenator is chargeing properly?

Sounds like the loose clip is either the seatbelt pretensioner or the side airbags.

Is your car a phase 1,2 or 3? If it's a phase 1 with a phase 3 interior that clip wouldnt plug into anything, but if it's a phase 3 it should be plugged in under the seat. If not your airbag light should be on.

Unless you've removed the bulb... LOL

If the battery warning light is on when the engine is running there is defo a problem with the alternator, could be a wiring fault so check this before buying a new one.

check your cables have not corroded in the sheathing and broken and most of the time they brake away from the crimp lugs buddy.

If ok check how many amps you are geting from the alternator with a multimeter when the cars running.

i kno this is going to sound obvious, but if the battery light is on all the time, could it not just be the fan belt tension, or worst case the belt could be broken hence no charge?? just a thought im no mechanic lol Razz

the belts are visible once you open the bonnet, check them for tension, best just to replace them along with the altenator tbh... good luck with ur 306 Razz
