Hi I'm new to the forum and purchased a 1997 4.6 hse auto around 6 months ago,with the intention of sorting it out and having her on the road. So far its had all new bushes,suspension,striped out inside and cleaned, some welding done and a few other small things, it still needs brake hoses done and some paintwork. However I have hit a bigger problem with what I assume is the becm? Basicley unless the battery is disconnected I get full function of all dash lights staying on even with no key in the ignition. No light goes out at all no indicators arrows flash or anything (but they work) all warning lights stay on at all times unless the battery is disconnected. I have provided some pictures of what I have narrowed it down to, when plug 2 on the becm is disconnected all lights go out with no ignition on, but when the car is running all dash lights continue not to work. I am asumeinf there is a fault in the unit? This is ovusley a mot failure due to either no signal lights on the dash with it disconnected and a fail with it connected due to all Warning lights on with no key in the ignition which drains the battery, then they all stay on when car is running ? If anyone can shed some light and how to go about it would be greatly appreciated as I really want this car threw a mot and to keep and get back to its former glory. Cheers
