    hi guys, i have a slight issue with my zed after many hours of pulling my hair out i have decided to ask you guys for help,

    my problem is that my ignition has no power at all no lights come on the dash when key is turned on nothing is happening.
    I have checked the battery and it has a full charge, headlights and hazards and horn all still work fine, i have checked all fuses and relays and all are fine have circuit tested all wires in fuse box all still have power coming thru...
    this thing has got me stumped...
    anyone with ideas of where i should check next

    Try the main electrical supply plug & socket. Its the one in the engine bay on the bulkhead , drivers side, around where the brake booster is. I've had this part and leave car dead

    just remembered i had checked that plug last night it was dry and free of corrosion but didn't circuit test it, should there be any power going thru it when ignition is off?

    Possibly, try another if you have one handy. Apart from fuses/relays I can't think what it could be. ENG CONT fuse is definitely OK?

    Are you 100% certain the battery is ok? If the battery is low the ECU will prevent the car from starting.

    I have a spare, though it's NA 16 bit Manual, so probably not what you need.

    If the CAS or connector is stuffed, you won't get stuff all. Also, the same with the AFM or AFM connector. Give em both a wiggle and see if you get any change.

    Dash lights should still come on without anything but a ECU. I can connect to consult with only a ECU and engine loom, the engine is sitting 10m from the car :p
