kinda had a go at this earlier but didnt fancy cuttin the wires so just thought id try puttin a screw in between the two terminals for the brown wires, tried to start the car and it wudnt, just cliked so i connected the brown n red wires bak together and it started, i then disconnected them while the car was started and put the screw in and the heaters n rear window demister worked but the when the car was turned off wudnt start agen?
is this because the screw isnt a good by-pass? im scared that if i cut the wires n solder them together then the car wont start lol
any ideas would be great??!! cheers

i cut the wires and scotch locked them together and it worked,i also tried your method but with speaker wire and it was the same as yours,car wouldnt start unless it was either clicked together or scotch locked

I had the same problem, No Power Steering, No Heater, No demister, and the battery warning light was on. I was going to attempt the suggested shorting of the wires, but then I applied some logic. This morning was very cold and frosty, ice on the windscreen, and i think this may have caused the problem. I switched on the heater and demister to melt the ice, I think that this causes the battery to put extra demand on the alternator, and in such case, the diodes in the alternator are made to convert high amount of ac to dc, as the battery need more power. The doide is prone to weakness under these condition and can be damaged. So it dawned on me that the Power Steerng is supplied by a high current pump, but only when the alternator is functioning, probably also the heating as well. So I got a voltmeter off a friend, revved up the engine and found that no change to the battery voltage, so i convinced myself that the alternator is the problem. I got a second hand one coming tommorow from 247 carspares on line, cost 20 quid. I have only had my current alternator (brand new) for only 3 months, so I reckon the demand in cold weather has caused the diode to damage.
Guys, maybe you should not do things like i did, and gradually let the car heat up a bit before switching everything on. Hope I have helped.

Bought a saxo the other day then realised had this problem. It's a 1.1i desire 3dr dunno if thats got power steering or not. Tried the fix and nothing so hooked the connections back up. So my problem is no PAS, but I dunno if my models got that. Blowers not working atall and rear window de-mister. Also my battery light stays on, im quite a noob with cars but would you say alternator?

[mitchyg_saxo]

mine did the same, i got those 2 connector blocks on the pic, chopped the end of and soldered them as one big bunch, works a treat now

[saxo_blowzy]

my 3 av gone but the battery light comes on as well

[saxo_blowzy]

does the relay click like mad to?

[saxo_blowzy]

it didnt work, any other suggestions?

[saxo_blowzy]

i have read through the whole thread and still dont understand what you are doing with the two brown wires. the pic shows the red wires and the brown wires joined by a block, i tried your mod of putting a wire from one to the other and it didnt work as mentioned before. but where is the power coming from to put power down the brown ones? if what you are saying is to bypass the ignition where does the power come from. why would there be power coming back up the brown wire?

[saxo_blowzy]

can anyone help me with this?
