It was possibly just a temporary fault that got logged as a fault code...have you tried clearing the codes?

Battery warning light comes on after about 15 secs

My battery warning light comes back on after about 15 seconds of starting up the car ( Mk2.5. Nevada 1.8 ,03 plate) . The belts are all tight and the situation has only just started. I have a nearly new bosch battery fitted. I can only think the faulot started after I tried to attach one of the EML 327 bluetooth OBDII connectors the other evening. I had to wiggle the OBDII connector a couple of times just to get it to slip onto the socket near the fusebox (near the bonnet release lever). I have read that sometimes the fault occurs not as a result of a failure in the alternator but a break in the wiring from the alternator. I wonder if I have damaged a wire from the OBDII socket. Can anyone shed any light. The car has been running really well up to now.
