My ride is a 97 KF Verada xi, Last Sunday The electical started playing up all of the sudden. I locked the car with the keyless Remote. When I returned the remote ceased to unlock the car, Nor did the clock memory or climate control memory work. Amongst this the buzzer that goes off when you open the door and have left the lights on do not work, also the interior and boot lights and "door open" dash light do not work. However the CD player still has memory.

Now I have checked the Fuses that I know of and cant seem to find a solution. If anyone has any ideas big or small, this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers for your time
EDDO

Have you checked the fuseable links under the bonnet?

Yeah I Had a squizz, all the fuses that I could pull out were not blown, however i'm not quite sure what area of problem this would fall under

You have two power connections to the fusebox. 1 is constant 12V and the other goes through the key for acc etc.

Sounds like you may have lost one of the bigger fuses that supplies the constant 12V.
They should be under the bonnet (I'm not as familiar with the 3rd gens as I am with the 1st and 2nd) and will look like a small (1/2 a postage stamp size) plastic box with a clear top.
Usually they are 40 amps plus and the higher ones are quite often screwed in. It could be one of them.

I'll hafta dig out the manual on disc (if I can find it) and see if it covers it.
