Default Electrical problem

Hi ther
Ive got a problem with my s2 ther are no ignition lights ,fan not working when hot, headlights not working, also indicators basically everything that works with the ignition being on doesnt seem to work as the car starts up ok just no electrics no dash revs work and no temp gauge moves and also fuel gauge is dead.

Is ther a main relay or fuse that controls all these things.

cheers

Most likely either an earth missing/dodgy (have you had the battery off recently?). Check the fuse in the fusebox for the brake lights. It goes to the ignition relay in the fusebox as part of its circuit.

as just mentioned, the brake light fuse is use for most dash instruments.
