Electrical problem.

Post by JimmyT25 »

Once again I have an electrical problem, I've now sorted the engine bay wiring and the engine runs but now when I turn the key in the ignition it doesn't send any current to the corresponding wire in the engine bay and none of the dash lights up!
I've checked all the fuses in the dash and They are all ok and I've checked any connections I can find with no luck, any ideas?

Battery flat?
Ignition switch failed?
I'd try testing the voltage on the ignition switch as a starting point

The battery is fine and if I turn the key right the way around the starter cranks the engine over but it obviously won't start. I've taken the cover off of the steering column but where do I need to test?
Also could there be a fuse gone anywhere?
