I fitted a new alternator and ever since the petrol and handbrake light has stayed on after i take key out..did you find out what was causing this ??

[mr_turbo]

arh well i didnt find out directly why this was happening but i did find out it was killin me battery n i cured it by fiitin a different alternator so im guessin it was actually the alternator at fault

That's interesting, looks like the shop sold me the wrong/faulty alternator. I suggested this but the owner started mumbling about faulty relays so i left it. Strange thing is it charges the battery no problems but the ignition lights staying on with the key out is annoying. cheers for info

mine done this again last nite how strange i checked the alternator n bat this mornin and all is fine i got in car switched it off n they went out hymmmmmm lol
the only relay is the resister on the back off the alternator other then that there is no more inline is there? im sure!
