We touring France and the sat nav stops getting power, we were stopping at a laundrette so I thought I will check it out then. Checked various bit and found a blown fuse on the indicator, handbrake warning, replaced and it popped straight away.
So I thought I would carry on without indicators until the next Aire and sort it then, went to start up but
nothing , turning over but not firing, noticed no lights on dash, thought we would need to use breakdown but I’d check first.
Took lower dash parts off to trace where I’d got fed for satnav power and found a bit of my insulation had deteriorated and exposed a metal piece behind radio, refitted a new fuse and bingo it’s all working again.
That fuse also did the key code part hence non starting- hurray.
