Check battery terminals, fuses and all earths..

its a brand new battery.. i was just out there again i think it might be that little white thing where the ignition wires go in where the key starts it.. its not the fuses iv looked them over like 5 times an the eaths seem alrite. its getting 2 new quarter panels so i was thinking of just ripping all the looms out an fit with new ones as im gonna strip the car anyway. the battery light use to fade aswell when the car was running

did the battery light stay on when running. If its fading when the engine is running sounds like a duff alternator

tryd about 4 of them with that battery light problem an still seems the same an even tryd a good one out of a mates astra an the light still stayd on fad.. i think im better of just ripping all the wires out an redoing the lot.. will be less hassle looking for the earths an broken wires.


thanks for all the helpful comments lads

Maybe the coil??

got a wire missing off the battery terminal? mine has 2 small wires as well as one large one... might be missing a live off the battery?

Try the Haynes manual and trace one of the faulty circuits back? does sound like earth to me or a relay.

im half thinking its a relay as the car use to cut out every now an then.. new looms will sort it out
