So ive had the dash out of the kingfisher for a couple of weeks now to weld up everything. Put the dash back in and the battery light is on! Plus as an added insult it also seems like the acc is switched in the ignition barrel so wipers work etc while ignition is off. The barrel can be disconnected and this still happens.
The earth is good under the dash have checked
Everything works as it should when the igntion is on
Alternator has been repaced as i thought it had shorted
Earth straps in bay have been changed (broke while doing matrix pipes)
The chassis leg connectors are
Immaculate no corrosion at all
There are two connectors that look like they should be plugged in but are not they are pictured. The brown is passenger side foot well and the white is drivers footwell. ANY ideas please?

Finally fixed. Nonidea what it was. Took everything out twice! Replaced earths, alternator, cleaned connections, checked internally in the fuse box. Couldnt see a thing. Tonight went out again. Checked the on dash with multimeter. (Boring as hell work) again couldnt see any issues. Put it back in to test with some bits connected and the faults gone.

Auto electrics is most definitely a dark art! I dread the day I have a fault like that.

I have done indeed. There are a few bits and photos in the "queeny" project thread of my wifes. Im sure she will upload more at some point as well.
On a side note the dash is back in and every thing works as it should. I have no idea what happened but its taken me since may the 8th to get this section of the job including the welding complete so a fair while for me
