    As it was late i went in. 2 days later came tu use car and battery was almost dead. Bought new battery and installed it yesterday.
    Now with ignition off all is fine but when ignition is on or car running dashboard lights dim and side and low beam lights are on with every position on the lightswitch EVEN WHEN SWITCHED OFF!!! Battery was disconnected 10 mins max

    Regards

    Andy

    Main beam comes on if the car thinks the light switch isn't working. Remove the switch again and reconnect it.
