Vauxhall Vectra 1999 1.8CD - No Electrics - BigKev

My 1999 Vectra has no power. Battery is okay but there is no power to turn engine, no lights on dash, no central locking. It's as if the battery has been stolen. Fuses under the steering wheel seem okay. Is there another main fuse somewhere or a Relay?

Check the leads from the battery, one should go to earth, make sure it does and the bolt is tight, maybe on the engine. If that's OK follow the + lead as far as you can and see what its connected to. A Haynes manual should give you some sort of wiring diagram.
