Default escort cosworth dim battery light
As tittle its on constantly but obviously at night its more visable
When i brake/headlights on/windows it comes up brighter and rev counter flickers a bit

Ive had new alternator, battery, 2 new extra earth straps from battery to bulkhead and engine, and cleaned up earths and its still exactly the same

Any ideas?
