No it was running fine yesterday parked up overnight dead this morning

Well if nothing lights up when you turn the ignition key, then my first check would be a volt meter across the Cab battery terminals. Maybe there were lights left on or something.

Why had the battery been changed in the first place? Possibly the replacement was done to address a charging problem? Is the engine cranking over on the starter or are you only getting a click when the key is turned?

Hi and thanks for getting back
Battery changed as it was sluggish turning over engine. Fine now. Battery has green panel saying it is fine. Can light comes on and horn works but nothing else

 

[ambulancekidd]

Sounds very much like an iffy starter motor.

Hi
Thanks for thought
But I have no ignition lights,as dead as a dodo only sign of life is horn and cab light

 

[autorouter]

Does the cab light go dimmer when you try to start it?

If not, it's not trying to run the starter motor. The battery may be OK, and the problem is something else. Starter solenoid, immobilizer etc.

 

[autorouter]

Sorry, missed the 'no ignition lights' bit. Cab light OK but no ignition lights sounds like an immobilizer problem.

As he's a 'read only' funster now we'll probably never know the real reason ... so now we have 'leaky Kontikis' and 'Konked-out-tikis'!

 

[TerryL]

Sounds more like a battery connection problem.

The advice was with the 15 quad
Don't understand some of them
