anyone ?

have you not just flattened your battery? if you are running an amp and a DVD the battery will go flat faster than a lion hunting a Xebu

[boyle_46]

no the battery was fully charged , normally it would make the dashlights come on and clocks but no joy the ingnition wont try and turn over at all :(

[meritlover]

yes im sure it was fully charged but now it will be flat?

[boyle_46]

nope :( theres plenty of life in the battery put it in my mates nova and it has plenty of juice in it any other suggestions ?

[meritlover]

you have blown a fuse or have a bad connection then.
out with the meter you go!

sounds like a main live to the dash lights. also i noticed the otherday there was a wire hanging in my gte engine bay that was earthing out causing the dash fuse to blow everytime. try this, maybe

That wire that you say about i think it somthing to do with the carb on some models all novas that ive had have it.

But that problem sounds like an earth or a blown fuse, check a 20amp yeloow fuse that blew on mine
