hi to everyone who reads this but i need some help

got a zetec turbo and i had a starting problem so i replaced battery and starter and solnoid and also the ignition switch
after putting ignition switch on i have no power to it so when i but key to on postion no lights come on the dash no lights work just dead the only thing i have found working is the cig lighter , buzzer that goes of when door is open and lights turned on even though lights dont come on
do you think i could be a relay or fuse box or ecu
there is power to the fuse box
do you have to have your ecu reprogrammed because i changed ignition switch or anything like that

hope anyone out there can help as i am missing my car and dont like public transport

u have put all 3 wires back onto the battery?

robgee32

hi can you tell me which one is the ignition relay on the fuse box

robgee32

what do u mean about putting all 3 wires back on the battery

steve4i

should be 2 earths and a live cant remember exactly from the battery terminals as 1 gives you the ignition lights

robgee32

yes all wires are in correct places it has only happened since replacing ignition switch there is power to fuse box but no power to ignition switch

steve4i

could it not be a faulty switch? what was wrong with the original? check the ignition relay in the fuse box and check the fuses also

robgee32

brought a working switch was fine in other car what colour is the relay on the fuse box for the ignition

steve4i

not sure what colour mate it might have a key picture on the fuse box cover can you hear a clicking noise when the ignition is turned on? the plug does match up to your wiring on the harness that you have plugged the switch too?

sounds daft but the battery is heavily charged aint it

robgee32

battery shows 12.53 on metre ignition switch is same as the one removed also what clicking noise are you refering to the ignition switch sounds fine clicks as it should bu carnt hear any other

steve4i

should be able to hear the ignition relay click when you turn the ignition on if you cant hear it try give all the relays a bit of a nock with a screw driver incase its got stuck if not try finding out what one is the relay for the ignition and replace it

steve4i

what kinda car is it a fiesta or escort and age? also check the 15amp fuses incase any of them have popped

robgee32

will try that carnt hear anything from relays when i turn ignition switch
