If the light is going off on the dash once you have started the engine then the alternator is probably working fine, 90% on that. | |

maybe the warning light on the unit aint on properly... il check that tomorrow... thats the most likely suspect as to why the light aint on. | |

i know its not charging for sure.... im almost positive its meant to have an earth strap from the adjusting slider to the block where the slider sits on.. | |

well i dont know about the xe tbh but im pretty sure theres meant to be an earth strap...if not u can check the alternator by looking at the voltage across the battery under load e.g with headlights on etc | |
