So your saying the battery is completely dead have you taken out the battery and replaced it with a new one - now what happened, it might be the regulator.

thanx for all replys.if the battery even completely dead,i reckon with a jump start it should be cranking a bit at least or little bit of light on the ignition.basicaly looks like, as if the battery was removed.

If you have a charged battery and there is no power at the fuse box (ie no lights or dash lights) it sounds like the fusable link down near the starter motor to me.

If ever needed the fusable link is the wire that also bolts on with your main + cable at the starter. The fusable link is the first few inches of the wire.The wire should start black in colour then change to red. The black section is the link.Just another
