NB: I've yet to search, check the workshop manual or even try to reseat a wayward relay or fuse :flipoff2: :

Truck is a NAS '94 d90. Driving along tonight, minding my own business, not a care in the world save fighting DC rush hour; and the truck dies. Clearly this is something that has happened time and time again (it is a rover and historically has been the ignition module) but this time it's a bit wierder than usual -- electrically related the starter and radio are working but no lights, including hazards, turnsignals or headlights are. Cranks away merrily but no firing. Vague clicking from passenger footwell, though it could have been the voices. Use the starter to get out of the lane and 30 seconds later, all is well, she fires right up, idles fine, no misfires, no check engine, no code. So what fuse / relay / ground / circuit can take out ignition and lights but not the starter or stereo? I'll burn a distributor cap in effigy later tonight.
