Hey

I bought a hail damaged car from auctions as a project, panel and paint - but I may have bit off more than I can chew!!

Zero ignition lights come on with the key. ( although the door open light lights up)

Dash 100% dead. No clicks etc- this is using a heavy duty jump battery.

Before i get it towed to my place or direct to a wreckers - what would you try?

I was thinking replacing all fuses & relays in engine bay and interior ones. ( is bursons best?)

Aftre that im lost... cheers

Fuses mate. Check terminals for contact, excessive corrosion etc. Check alternator, check battery with an alternator. Bursons is ok for fuses. Anywhere really, a fuse is a fuse.
