ryan.col Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hello, I own a ford fiesta mk4 1.3 petrol. I went to move my car this morning and noticed that my lights on my dashboard were on before I even started the car up. I managed to start it fine and moved it. I then went to go out tonight and it wouldn't start but the lights were still on whilst the ignition was off. I have replaced the heater valve and alternator/alternator belt. I'm not sure if those are anything to do with it. I also noticed a little while back that my dashboard light that tells me that I have my exterior lights on isn't working but the full beam dashboard light works, anything to do with it? I would be greatful if anyone could help me and will answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thank you in advance. Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manol01 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Good morning Rayan, please be more specific about which lights on dash were on, e.g. the ignition lights or the dash illumination. Emmanouel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan.col Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 it was all the lights (battery, air bag etc) I charged the battery up during the night and it has stopped now. it's also starting first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manol01 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I believe that is not so simple as you mention, according to your very first post. My opinion is that you must check for proper operation the ignition switch, frankly for me sounds like some kind of ark in there. Another issue is that somewhere there is an current leak under circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan.col Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 I don't understand why it's working fine at the moment. the alternator belt was really slack so I tightened it up also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
