Have you turned off the interior light switch on the inside switch by accident? Might be a "doh" moment?

Not a great lose if it put a smile on a few people's face can live with the shame

It made me giggle and reminded me of when it took me hours to get my bike started and drained the bat, I didn't realise the kill switch was activated as it still turned over just wouldn't fire :(

i did something similar haha... I had the reserve switch on so i couldnt use the bottom half :P kept turning it over with nothing happening.. after trying to bump start it for 20 mins i found that the switch was on. So in a all natural way started fiddling with something in the engine (like you do) and pretended to fix it x)

hey guys calling this one back up because i noticed that the two switches that control when the lights are turned on (the ones that allow current to flow when the door is opened) are pretty dodgy on my car so it might not always be the fact you turned them off or blew a fuse :P food for thought :)
