Moved this van out of the workshop today. When i got back in to start it up an hour later something strange happened. I turned the key and all the dash lights came on as normal. When i went to start the engine everything died. Not even an interior light would come on. Strangley after a minute the dash clock came back on but after turning the key again the whole lot died as before.

Any ideas anyone? Im baffled

Is there plenty of charge in the battery.I know starters are common for going on these.

Sounds like a dead battery to me

Started fine before this happened. Ill check the voltage on the battery. I mean it had no electrics whatsoever.

When a battery drops below a safe voltage it won't allow anything to work other than the low current items i.e clock, alarm led,

Test battery voltage is above 12.4, if so Carry out volt drop test between battery posts and terminals and then body earth , Should find your problem somewhere in there
