Complete electrical failure


Recommended Posts

Went out in the TR6 today for a short run to the local garden centre. Came out to restart ( nothing incl. not any lights ). 

checked battery terminals o.k. all lights suddenly came on & car started. Drove back to the garage, no power again.

Checked positive lead to starter solenoid o.k. checked connection at solenoid no power to main loom. Disconnected

connections at solenoid ( all slightly corroded ) cleaned them all up & full electrical power restored. Hope this may

be of some help to anyone out there that experiences a similar failure.

More common than you think and often overlooked.
