I went to start the Chim this morning and instead of waiting for a few seconds after turning the ignition on (for the fuel pump to prime), i just turned the key all the way (accidentally).
The ignition lights came on then went out, and then nothing worked.
No dash lights, no headlights/brake lights, no alarm or locking, wont start, no stereo, no fuel pump noises, no gauges working etc etc.

No electrics at all !

I know there is a 100 amp fuse under the car, but should this cut every thing out ?
i thought it just cut the charging circuit ?

Anyone know of another fuse that would cut every thing ?

Any help would be most welcome, as I have an MOT booked for midday tomorrow .

Thanks

There is a main fuse that is between the battery and fuse box, sounds like you have blown that. Its by the battery and is in a plastic case just like the alternator fuse.
