Hi guys,
Having started fine previously today I went to put the Capri in the garage and heard a click followed by nothing. No electrics at all on the car. I assumed a fuse but the box looks okay. Any ideas where to start? I've not done much with electrics so and advice needs to be idiot proof!
Many thanks,
Dan

Sounds like a flat battery. Maybe you left side lights, radio or interior light on ?
Charge it and should be ok.....Disconnect negative lead when not in use, that will stop it draining again.

Thanks for the reply Andy. It was the battery connection. As I went to disconnect it the hazards came on Serves me right for not changing the crappy connectors that came on the car. They don't fit properly so we're spaced out with aluminium strip from a coke can. Time for some new ones I think!
