[ROVERNET - UK] Charging problem

[John Burkhard]

There is always change in the wiring, it is called connector corrosion. 
Time to unpack your DVOM.  Also check the battery voltage under load, ign. 
disconnected, headlights on and then crank over the engine,  anything less 
than about 9.6 volts it's time to check it out.  Press on.
