just an update so u all know what the fault was after double checking fuses and alternator wiring there was still no joy so i decided i would hot wire the car to see if i could get the ignition, and as i went to check the wiring in the block that comes out of the ignition barrel, when i went to disconnect it it seemed to come apart real easy and thought to myself that it was not connected probly so checked for power and there was power there so i reconnected plug makeing sure it was in all the way and it was and everything worked fine so this was all caused via a bad alternator power steering leak and a plug not connected proply.

hi i have had a new alternator fitted p/s pump rebuilt no more leaks new battery fitted and new fuse the main one (120amp) and it is still not charging its a 1993 model any ideas also the wireing all looks fine what do the 3 wires in the plug do that plugs into the alternator is one an earth what are the other 2 and is the big thick wire (the one that bolts on) power to the alternator or is this the return that charges the battery any help is much appriciated. also anyone got any wireing diagrams. also the car still starts but there are no ignition lights the stereo not working heater not coming on electric windows not working its like the whole ignition side is not working but the car still starts and drives any ideas

well looking at the website i would say its the alternater just need to find a working one now !!!

all fuses are fine tested both alternaters and got a reading of 12.5v not running and 12.3 running tested both alternaters of the car by spinning them at 4000rpm and checking voltage out the back one had 0 the other was 0.03 so i reckon i got another dud alternater checked all wiring today and they all have continuity so am i right in sayin that its still the alternater thanks

right got a second hand alternter and rebuilt the powersteering pump to stop it leaking and making horrible noises.it has stopped making a noise but i still have no dash lights no radio,heater etc so i checked the voltage across the battery whilst running and it shows that the alternater is not charging still could it be dodgy cause it is second hand or could it be something else the battery is new and also the main alt fuse (120)amp is fine any ideas

hi the battery was done correctly all fuses are fine could it be the alternator as the powersteering is leaking and how could i test this aswell thanks

Hi guys recently brought a ls400 on a k plate the car was fine for a day then the battery died i replaced the battery and it has been fine until i got in the car and there was no igntion lights but it still starts and drives,but there is also alot of stuff not working ie radio,heater,rear demister,mirrors,windows,wipers but all these where working fine until i started the car with no ignition, is this just a relay or a fuse any help would be most grateful thanks
