Thank god for that you are a brave man playing with those fuses :y

Why ?    can you explain ? , as if it will cause problems I would like to warn OP before he touches his .

But it would seem there are no issues after pulling mine 

[swordfish]

ok thanks for that i will try it out on monday

Any news on this Swordfish ?

just checked power at the fuse conection and getting full 13 volts

That's not really enough, and points to a charging issue. Checking all of the battery and alternator connections is now first on your list of things to do.

[swordfish]

how can it require more than 13 volts

how can it require more than 13 volts

I think Nick means that with engine running , and therefore charging, reading should be around 14.4 volts

Hence he mentions charging issue

With engine not running usual reading with a good battery is circa 12.4 volts

Sounds like an ECU issue to me....

Manual and Auto ECU's are different.... dunno if you can fit an Auto ECU to a manual, but its worth a try just to see if the warning lights illuminate..... maybe try to start the engine but not drive it...?

already swapped them inc the immobilizer ring

already swapped them inc the immobilizer ring

so you have changed the engine ECU , imomobiliser ring & key chip ?   

 and you still have no dash lights ?

 Could the ignition switch itself be at fault here ?  as in operating the starter circuit in position 3 but not switching ignition circuit on in position 2 ?

[swordfish]

yes

[powerslinky]

yes

I added a bit to my last post about the ignition switch.

Maybe it is fubared & although switching on the starter circuit in pos 3   . . .it has failed & wont switch on the ignition , relays,  ECU circuits  (in  normal running position 2 )

the old term "hot wire"  would be applicable here to test . but be careful  . . .you have to make sure you are connecting the correct wires here , otherwise serious damage may occur.

Someone on oof with a good understanding of the ignition switch wiring may be able to tell you which wires to test & "hot wire"    Caution here is very important

You have replaced the dash bulbs?

[swordfish]

replaced the full dash pod

[Doctor Gollum]

Didn't answer the question...

In any case would need to be from same engine type.
