I would appreciate anyones thoughts on the following. I have noticed over the last couple of days when it turn the ign. off i have a couple of warning lights oil,abs. dimly lit. I noticed this happening a few weeks ago, but the problem seemed to disappear. Its re occured again causing a flat battery this morning. Something which may be coincidental or connected to this problem is the sunroof now refuses to work. A couple of people have mentioned it could be the battery problem or the alternator back feeding.... anyone got any thoughts

The alternator has been suspect for this type of problem in the past.

Have to agree with Simmo - sounds like a failing alternator. Battery going flat points to alternator not charging or pushing out only a low charge, glowing lights points to alternator rectifier pack failing. Just my 2 cents but sounds very similar to a problem I had on a car a while back.

Thanks for your thoughts, I'll check out the fuse box, If no joy then its a new alternator I guess??

Hi Had the same problem last week on my 16v ultima It was the fuse box next to the battery full of water even though I have a battery tray fitted. Bought one from the breakers and fitted it. Sorted all my problems out. Andy
