Guys if anyone can help, i have much the same problem. The battery light has been on/off for the last 12 months, i changed the battery+alternator+belt and checked the fuses and it just syaed the same. Tonight out of the blue the headlights have stopped working. When i pull the stalk (as if you flash) i still get nothing, but i do have side lights.
I have checked the fuses but not yet had a chance to check the relay, any other suggestions other than getting a set of Night vision goggles?
Cheers, Mark
Update 26/03/11
I have checked all the fuses and relays (well my best mate has) and all are working fine. There is power to the relay in the engine bay for the lights, but no power back into it, the only way round this is to take a new live feed and jump the realy via a new switch in the car and back through an in-line fuse. Hopefully this will allow me to get some lights.
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 96 Carisma 4G92 engine?
Cheers
