Any Idea about this??? my 7series showed a code last night driving home, " Generator Fault" Battery not charging. Could it be the alternator?
Sounds about right...
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
I have a 03 bmw 745li and i have replaced the battery and the alternator both are new now i start it an get a Generator Default with a battery light on my dash and it is also in my Idrive. This is my 3rd alternator my 1st went up the second one was a bad alternator and now this 3rd one is new and so is the battery. Shop says it is charging fine and he dosnt knwo what is wrong. He did state the 2nd alternator burnt up because a wire was loose, he stated he fixed that when he put the new alternator on n says it is charging just fine, i am lost. I have droped over 1000.00 in repair alone and 1000.00 on battery and alternators so im stuck.
