Andy T O Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi all, just returned from Gaydon after a pleasant morning, turned the engine off for 5 minutes and went to start it ..nothing. No lights or power ,tried again after a couple of minutes every thing working as normal..Battery connections look good, could it be the ignition lock....cant think what else to look at. cheersAndy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 When you say no lights - was that just lights on the dash or headlights too Andy ? If just the dash lights, then suspect the ignition switch. If it was everything then it can only be the battery connections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSM Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Same thing happened to me. The + cable from battery to starter was corroded at the spade terminal at the starter end causing intermittent total loss of all electrics. Cleaned up terminal & all restored. Best of luck Harvey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Don't forget both ends of the battery earth connection Andy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
