try a bigger fuse? (amp wise)

Is it the right Amp fuse?

Dont fit a larger amp one, as that will just mean the shorting/dodgy wires could set alight instead of the fuse blowing. BAD idea,Lol.

thats what i meant;)

Im guessing it wouldn't be a earth fault chap. It sounds like you've got a cable shorting to earth(the body) somewhere. Have a think if something has happened to the car at the same time as the fault started. Like throwning something heavy in the boot, changed a bulb or you've installed something. Then have alook in that area.

Oh and what do you mean by "the battery light comes on"? Do you mean constantly when it's running, or only when you turn the ignition on?
