Hi all.
Jumped in to the car this morning and the generator light remained on as i drove away.
pulled over checked the fan belt , checked the belt tension all well.
Hopped back in and it remained on as i drove for several minutes and then went out .
This evening same thing as i left work, but feel the gen light was on for much longer , again it went out after some time.
Where do i start looking to resolve this ??What is needed to remedy this ??

Good news !!!
Thanks for the advice , spot on ..
Jostled the brushes about a little and all is well.
Brush length is good, the car starts without the gen light glaring ..Many thanks again..
