Have searched the electrical threads and this is the only one that is related:
http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/282/334693.html?1295258219

Went to start car this morning to go to work, immob / remote door unlocked, stepped in / key in and steering wheel came out, turned once digital dash turns on, turn to crank and tick then nothing all electrics stopped.

Was working day before, drove it around fair bit. Car recently had valve seals replaced so the battery was disconnected for a time.

I am planning to wire brush and reconnect the terminals once i get home, was just wondering if there was anything else it could be if it wasn't the terminals? Is there a giant fuse that could cause this somewhere? Why is this happening T.T

Thanks for any help

Regards

Either bad connections or dead battery.

Cold weather can kill a half dead battery quite quickly, particularly on a vehicle that has a great deal of electrical equipment.

Turns out it was a loose -tive terminal, hopefully all good now

Shat bricks when it happened
