there are a couple of little orange things but cannot tell f they have blow or not.. as the look like normal still

year is 2006

do you have a voltmeter?

yeah we have a voltmeter

you can use that to see if the fuses are blown

will try it

Check in the glove box, there should be a fuse box with main fuse

Check in the glove box, there should be a fuse box with main fuse

 

will have a look now

ok checked all fuses but they seem fine, there one relay inside the glove box fuse panel which is also fine ??

Check on or near the battery pos lead (near battery) . is there a cover that could house fuses. I think they have a main fuse located around there

you have prob burnt the wire out back to the ignition, this happened once in my fiesta after an "expert" fitted my radio

Any luck mate

yourll have prob burnt through a wire if left long enough and yes sorry to say but there all rapped up the quikest and cheapest way is a good rep auto electrcian one that a local garage would relie on dont take to dealer there charging you 45 plus anhour whilst srathing there heads.hope you find the fuse.start at the begining and check one buy one with meter.

ok guys thanks for all your help... there was a wierd shaped fuse on the battery 32 amp ..... and we decided to wrap some speaker wire arouns it to re connect the ends and viola it worked the lights came on and we decided to jump around the garden giving high fives......we didnt however realise that his mum was at the front door and asked ... why are you two so happy,,,, so we came out with the first thing that came into my head which was .....' your tyre pressures are all fine' she did walk off so it did the trick... we then attached all the plastic covers etc and locked up..........what a day!

 

Cheers guys!
