Went to go to work this morning, got in the Zed turned the key all the dash lights came on as usual.

Then turned the key the next click and.... Nothing.

All the lights on the dash had gone out.

Tried again and literally nothing, no dash light and no starting.

Is there a fuse or relay that could have gone?

Any help would be appreciated, as can't rely on a lift as my missus works random times, it was just lucky she was leaving this morning at the same time as me.

check the battery terminals m8

Deffo sounds battery related...

Sounds like a flat battery to me.

I will check the battery when I get home. but just in case that doesn't solve it,any other ideas.

Starter knackered or dodgy earth possibly, have you ever had it before or noticed the starting getting lazy or sounding different? My money is on the battery...

The car has never had a problem starting, always instantly fires up at the first turn of the key.

Has it sat for a while?

Nope, drove it to and from work yesterday with no problems at all.

I take it its in park, maybe theres a dodgy switch in autobox gearshifter .

Good call, but I don't think the lights all go out when you turn to start, it just does nothing? The fact that the lights on the dash go out indicate a power drain to large for the battery. Do you not get any clicking noises or anything?

I got literally the not so sweet sound of silence when I turned the key, no lights, no clicking.... Absolutely nothing! :(

I'm hoping it is just the battery terminals, but I'll have to wait till I get home from work to find out.

check the main fuse as well... (drivers side, engine bay, fire wall)

this is a US pic and battery is in the wrong place but fuse box is still there...

Oh, have the dash lights gone out and now won't illuminate at all?

Yeah, nothing at all. Going out into the rain to have a look in the next half hour.

Then I'd say most likely a fuse me old mukka

Just went out to have a look, thought I'd give it a quick turn of the key first and.....

Fired straight up without an issue.

How very odd!!!

bet I will go out tomorrow morning and the bugger won't start again.

Intermittent stuff sucks!

Hopefully it won't be intermittent, with any luck it will be a one off! But only time will tell.

I'd go back to connections... check battery, take them off clean and put back on securely..

 

check all fuse boxed for corrosion.. the last thing you want is it going off when driving...

well it started fine this morning, but have to agree with you both, so will be having a proper look, clean and tidy up at the weekend.
