OK, I have had this defender for years with very minor electrical problems, basically a bad alternator, starter and just in the last year a relay went out.
Today, while backing out of the driveway, the defender stopped running. Period, no sputters, no nothing, dead. So, I took the fuze cover off and was checking things out and I could not find anything wrong, then suddenly the car came on fully, I started her normally, she ran for a few seconds and died again and is now still dead.
Now, I have interior lights, I have door open alarm, the hazard switch works, I hear clicking of some relay(s), but no dash lights, no turn signals, no headlights and nothing from the engine, I do not think I hear the fuel pump running either.
I have run through the shop manual, but I was not able to narrow down what might be going on.
I thought it might be the inertia switch going out or maybe a relay, but I do not have the tools at the house to do more troubleshooting.
Any help is great appreciated
