battery warning light
Hi, just noticed that when i turn off ignition the battery warning light displays!! not sure why or how to remove it, i did replace some fuses other day as central locking/ interior lights were not working, will battery be drained if this light is displayed? Thanks

Try this;
Put the key in the ignition and observe no battery light. Turn key to first position and observe battery light.
Is that what you get?
This is perfectly normal and is indicating that the first position provides ignition switched power to such things as electric windows, radio, cigarette lighter etc.

The other possibility is a missing or broken main engine earth lead (!) although with some other symptoms you would have with that, you would know straight away.
Unlikely causes are: a fault in the instrument panel itself (a short) , faulty ignition switch or internal short in the alternator (quite rare)
