Ive got a corsa b 1.2 8v SPi
When i take the key out/turn of car.... the battery light stays on.... and will drain the battery...
Ill jump start it... it will run for about 5 mins... then die again...
Ive tryed a jump lead from battery to the chassis/gearbox and its still on....
Any ideas what it could be.. im thinking Alternator??
Cheers

My sisters tigra used to cut out when driving. after changing the camshaft sensor and it still not fixing it we found it to be the battery.
If the battery light stays on while the car is running its definately your alternator
if it stays on when the car is off its the ignition switch. easy enough fix though mate.
