24v electrical gremlins

I would appreciate anyones thoughts on the following. I have noticed over the last couple of days when it turn the ign. off i have a couple of warning lights oil,abs. dimly lit. I noticed this happening a few weeks ago, but the problem seemed to disappear. Its re occured again causing a flat battery this morning.
Something which may be coincidental or connected to this problem is the sunroof now refuses to work. A couple of people have mentioned it could be the battery problem or the alternator back feeding.... 
anyone got any thoughts

hi there
sounds more like a fuse box issue.
check them to see if they're all dry, etc.

The alternator has been suspect for this type of problem in the past.

Have to agree with Simmo - sounds like a failing alternator.
Battery going flat points to alternator not charging or pushing out only a low charge, glowing lights points to alternator rectifier pack failing.
Just my 2 cents but sounds very similar to a problem I had on a car a while back.

Hi
Had the same problem last week on my 16v ultima
It was the fuse box next to the battery full of water even though I have a battery tray fitted. Bought one from the breakers and fitted it. Sorted all my problems out.
