Megane Alternator Failure

Battery connections seem fine, already checked them. But could a bad battery cause these symptoms even with a supposedly good alternator?

Well, a bad battery can cause weird electrical issues, but with those error codes pointing to the generator, it's likely the alternator failing. I’d say take it to a workshop to be sure.

Thanks for the input! Took it to the shop, and you were right – alternator was toast. Cost me 960€ for replacement. Appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar! Had similar issues with my old Opel Astra. Weak lights, starting trouble... Did you check the battery connections? Maybe they're loose or corroded?
