Driving car early this morning, stopped at servo, turned off, locked up. Came back, car started and turned lights on then it stalled. Now have no ignition, doesn't crank/click or prime fuel pump, no dash lights but still beeps when key is in ignition and door open, interior light working. Have changed all of the fuses under the dash (only one busted which was an accessory - the cigarette lighter one) and the ignition blade fuse under the bonnet. Main switch working, swapped one of the abs/sunroof long green clip type fuses into the ignition position and still nothing. Is there are relay or breaker somewhere that i cannot see? Any advice would be great as have had to leave it at a servo overnight.

Sounds like all the battery circuit stuff is working but the main ignition circuit has failed. Long shot but I actually had a very similar issue for a while and traced it to the main ignition harness connector on the back of the interior driver's-side fuse panel.

I confirmed the issue by manually manipulating the really thick wires going into the top of the fuse panel and watching the ignition-operated stuff (like the instrument cluster) flash on and off.

The main harness connector (smallish, thick wire going in, only one or two terminals I think very vague menmory). It was making a poor connection. I removed the fuse panel and sanded and manipulated the connector on the plug to make better contact and that fixed it.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      I figured out what’s wrong. It’s something to do with the high beam wire short circuiting. When I measure the continuity with a multimeter on the headlight socket connector it gives me a continuous beeping noise when I put it on the ground socket and also on the high beam socket.  On the passenger side of the car (working side), it’s only beeping when the probe is on the ground socket. Which makes sense.  So that means it has something to do with the high beam power supply for the drivers side. How do I trace that? Is it the turn signal lever malfunctioning? The one that also controls the high beam and low beams.

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By EndZee · Posted

      But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me
