Hello,
can anyone help me before i pull my hair out,
I have a 1997 carisma glxi.The battery warning light is permanantly on despite having changed the battery and alternator...Any help would be good...Thanks

Did you check fuses?

yeah and there all ok,
i`ve got about 14volts running through the battery when the engine is running.i`ve also discovered that there is a relay under the bonnet in with the fuses thats getting rather hot...according to the book its labelled ignition?

Problem is just the same as mine. Too bad that there is no answer.

Could anyone please help me? This problem is ruining my holiday.

Hi guys ive had the same problem with my mitsubishi carisma also the 97 model !!

I first noticed it as my headlights stopped working and my battery light came on same day
I replaced the alternator/battery relay coz it was getting so hot was told that was the problem,
but didnt work then took to auto-elec they said alternator regulator but decided to just change the whole alternator was like £10 more, that also didnt work and i still havent got any main beam lights or rear lights only sidelights also had the battery checked.
may be off no relevance but there was heavy rain that week and in my lane to get home i have to drive through pot holes that were a bit flooded is there any chance this problem could be related to water damage?
Also there is NO electirc running to the lights at all but is at the fuse junction or wherever it begins ??? any help really would be appreciated
