Hey what ever only seen the same fault about a dozen times before but then what do i know???

Evilgoat:
Possibly something in the diode pack has gone a little odd. Does the light stay on?

Would agree totaly  with the diode pack 8)  8)

DFR:
as soon as you start the engine up it goes out and charges the battery no problem, everything just seems normal. When you turn the ignition off the light comes on and stays on with the keys out. I have taken to disconecting the battery just so I can get back and for to work.

I had a quick look tonight but cant see anything out of the ordinary, even jet washed off the alternator just to make sure there wasn't anything in there that shouldnt be but made no difference at all.

Going take the dash out on Friday and make sure there isn't anything keeping it live in there, if not then I am completely at a loss as to what it might be.

Excuse my ignorance but is the diode pack is the lights on the dash

any more ideas most welcome

Seen it a few times as well - defo keep the battery disconnected or it'll discharge...

It could be the rectifier (diode pack) or the ignition switch thats  doing it, most common one is the rectifier, well, it is on the fleet I work on anyway....... :wink:
