Sounds like it could be the alternator switch, it seems to be keeping the car running, it is a common problem. there is a little lead that plugs in to the back of it just pull it out, if it dies then there is your problem. Or there is a short somewhere else

Also what do you mean pull the feed off like as in an ignition live because am pretty sure its only blue and white and a red wire cheers again

i'd take the blue/white off

Wil try that mate cheers but its only battery light a think because it wasn't wired up when I got the car
