jeebowhite Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 good call from Peter there, thats the best place to start, and also try swapping the fuse with a like for like in the fusebox. see if the fault follows or stays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi Johnm When you drive do you have a battery light appear on the dash? if so its possible the alternator is faulty. If you get no lights, then it could be a poor charging battery, is it one you have bought, or is there a chance its the original battery? - can you confirm that the battery terminals are secured down, and where they grip around the electrodes of the battery, that you have about 0.5 - 1mm of electrode poking up from the top of the cablings...
