Default Ignition warning light

Hi all,
Hope someone can help, we have a ford focus it's 6 years old and up to now we have had no problems, just lately the ignition warning light has been coming on and the electrics cut out, the car starts again straight away and it only happens when turning corners.
i know we will need to take it to a garage put dont want to be paying through the nose, has anyone any idea what the problem could be and what the cost might be.
Thanks a lot.

Possibly a faulty ign. switch, which is turning itself off because of something loose when you corner.

I would suggest a loose plug on the rear of the alternator, or water ingress into the loom at the alternator.

A good auto electrician should sort it in about an hour, £50 ish, don't be surprised if they suggest an alternator, it could be that as well.

Without wanting to denigrate your suggestion Hammy, why would a lose alternator plug cause the power to cut - it would continue to be fed from the battery? If it were sinking the entire available output of the battery, there would be melted wires.

Because I've seen this lot's of times on Focus and it's usually one of the two suggestions above.

I can't remember seeing a faulty ign switch, with something loose, before.

Fair enough, I bow to your experience.

(Although the logic still escapes me. I can understand that an alternator fault would illuminate the ign. light, but not how it would cut the engine out)

I am not up to speed on the Focus, but a lot of cars have an oil level warning light attached to a sensor in the sump.
On the better cars, this is fed via a cutout relay. Check that your oil is not low which would expose the sensor when going around a corner.
Of course the car would start again right away as the oil has now leveled in the sump while stopped.

Go With Hammy's advice. Get an auto-spark on the job. Chances are, he'll fix it in minutes
