    SORTED Turned out to be a bad alternator after all, must have damaged it while jiggling it out of the car. Swapped an alternator from my c4s and all works. Fewf... Thanks for all the inputs.

    Checked the exciter wire, it has switched 12v. When I check the alternator on the bench, when supplying 12v to exciter it doesn't get any harder to rotate (which I remember was the case in my mercedes alternator). And while rotating it with an impact gun it only gives out around 5v (maybe not rotating it fast enough...) Anyways will replace the voltage regulator and test further...

    The thick cable behind the alternator is directly connected to the battery +ve? It still gives approx 12v. Next will check the exciter wire with ignition on.

    Any idea what controls the exciter wire? Seems like the alternator doesn't get excited...

    Yep, checked them too, all have continuity

    The alternator was out of the car at that moment

    Hi guys, I was doing the AOS replacement yesterday, and removed the alternator. At some point in the process I needed to connect the battery (🤦🏻) and the alternator power cable touched the engine 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 and shorted for a sec. I assembled everything, the car starts but the alternator doesn't charge (there is a gen/ batt warning on the dashboard). I have checked the cables, some fuses and the current distributor. All seem to be ok. Any suggestions where to look next? Is there some relay that controls alternator/ starter? (The alternator was outside the car, and it worked before disassembly :)) The car is '03 c2. Thanks for the inputs
