Hello and Help ! - andyhobden - 09-08-2013
Hi gang, fairly new to this. I have a phase 3 306 hdi mainly standard apart from de-cat, de egr and K&N panel filter.
Apologies for starting with a problem, but I am stumped. To cut a long story short, I have lost power to the ignition, its not cranking , no dash lights nothing. The headlights and hazards, central locking etc still work, and the starter spins if wired directly to the battery. I have visually checked all the fuses, and cleaned the main earths (gearbox/chassis) and recharged the battery, but still not a sausage.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

which fuses have you checked?
there are some mega ones in the engine bay!
welcome!

Cheers, I had a look at the big bad boys in the engine bay fuse box and all seem fine.

Welcome along. What's the wiring condition like on the ingitiln barrel? Do the electrics work on ignition?
RE: Hello and Help ! - andyhobden - 09-08-2013
Had them out and all appear fine ?

I replaced the barrel as the spring had gone. No electrics on ignition :-(

Update, I went out and tried to start her tonight, and bingo. Just dash lights on first turn of the key, turned off and on again and jackpot. Purring like a beauty. Que back flip and happy dancing. Left her running for a few minutes switched her off. Tried to switch her on again and sweet fanny Adams . Hooked up the booster pack, and bingo again. Could it just be that the battery has seen better days ? Can't use my multimeter at the. moment as the red lead managed to get boxed up with a mates snap on diag. Which was next to useless.

Worth trying a battery on it, but I wouldn't go and buy one unless you know it's the issue.
Welcome BTW!

Thanks boss. Do you know if there is a seperate earth for the altinator ? And is it worth checking the earths on the inside ?
RE: Hello and Help ! - Jonny81191 - 09-08-2013
Alternator earths through the block.
Try this:
Connect a jump lead form the battery negative terminal to the gearbox or any part of the block. Then try starting it.
