After giving my mx5 engine a wash with a pressure machine the battery charging light is now staying on. The battery went flat overnight after parking the car (which it had never done before), however it started easily on a boost start with the battery light coming on and staying on.
Please check the connection going into the alternator by tugging on it(grasp the plug firmly when doing this not the cable), you can either tug it out or gently but firmly push it to the front as the jet of high pressure water might have unseated/loosened it from the spade connectors inside the alternator.
Also check all fuses in the fuse box for any expired/blown fuses and replace as need be with the correct ratings.
