Battery Warning Lamp
Off to my bank holiday boot sale today I noticed when I got into the car that the battery warning light was on - before I had put the key in the ignition [V] The car starts and runs fine and the battery light goes out as it should do when running. But when I stop the car and turn off engine and take keys out, the battery light stays on? Also, the power to the stereo and windows is still on, just like when you turn the key one click. I think that the ignition may be on it's way out, or is it something more simple? Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers. Tony
Fuses all ok Paul, thanks. This is strange, but on my way to work this morning (still dark), I noticed the hazard light switch was not illuminated on the dash with the other switches, I gave it a flick with my finger and it came back on - and the battery lamp went out. Is this coincidence or are these related??? I'll still check out the ignition switch. Thanks Peter. Thinking about it, I've 'fixed' lots of my dying lamps with a flick!
