OK guys, this will be a hard one for you techies out there.
On Saturday I drove around all morning, started and stopped the Nav about 5 times. Then after getting back in the car after getting lunch (turned off for about 10 min), I turned the key to start and all the dash lights went out as if the battery was disconnected. I turned it off and then went to start it again, it would not start but made a bit of a clicking noise like a solenoid ticking. I thought OK, flat battery so I tried with a jump pack and all I could get was a very slow cranking over of the motor, but not enough to start. So on the phone to RACV. The guy try's to start it and now nothing at all not even dash lights come on, so he try's to jump start it and still nothing, he tests the battery and it comes back fine. Then he starts poking around with a test light and finds that there was no power at the ignition barrel and no power anywhere in the fuse panel under the dash. He then just called a tray truck and I had it towed to my mechanic.
I get a call from the mechanic this morning and he says that he put the key in and it started straight away no issue at all. WTF!!!!!!!!!
He is going to take it to an auto elec and see if they can find anything, but the problem is it is hard to find anything wrong when it is working fine now.
Any help would be great.
