    The BIG fuses are at the back of the engine bay on the right hand side. By the fuel cut off switch I think? I'm not sure what they feed though as I don't have any wiring diagrams handy.

    Is your battery grounded properly?

    There are 2 fuse boxes in the engine bay a large 1 & a smaller 1.There`s no such thing as a master fuse.What voltage does the battery read?

    right, i have just found 2 fuses under the dash that had blown so replaced them but still nothing. when i try jumping it from my other car i get all dash lights and alarm fob buttons make central locking and indicator work. so all is good. it must therefore be the stupid terminal connectors that are used. i will replace these for the usual gold plated ones sold by motor factors and all should be good.

    will feedback results tomoz

    basically i have taken the battery off the car, reattatched battery and then everything doesnt work. i have brought a new battery connected it and still nothing. i then tried jump starting from another car and i get everythinf i link the terminals onto any g working apart the car actually turning over. i linked the jump cables to the part of the positive and earth cables just after the stupid plastic terminal bits.
    but i have tried numerous batteries connected via terminals and not a sausage. so going to buy new battery terminals and go from there

    right changed the earth cables between battery and gearbox also changed the earth between battery and chassis, i had a spare set of uprated earthing leads that i removed from my evo so though i might as well use these as they are by far better quality than the standard citroen rubbish. also i changed the battery terminals for standard type gold plated ones sod by motor fators. by god does that make a difference to the car. tidies the engine bay and also helps the car with starting. all is sorted on this problem now so must of just been crappy citroen wiring faults that have now been sorted. next job is sorting out exhaust as before i owned the car someone put on a cheap uprated exhaust without cat and sounded terrible like it had a bag of nails inside it. back to standard i think with maybe a better bak box
