i broke the ute, no electrics

[Huntington]

I have just done a complete dash replacement, amongst other things, I had the new dash in, every working great. blower fan working, heater controls linked and working. all lights worked. so last step i put the cluster back in, everything still fine, all lights work, all electrics seemed perfect. I started the car, still no drama, I gave her a rev to make sure the tacho was responsive, she reved up, back to idle and then the engine turned off...... and so did EVERYTHING else, no lights, no horn, no ignition, no heater fan, absolutely NOTHING, the ute kind of looks like a giant paperweight in this state.

checked fuses, all good, battery is connect, all visable wiring looks fine.

suggestions? I really dont want to remove the new dash, but i have a bad feeling its something in the loom behind the dash.

Check the main 60A fusible link for being blown. These fusible links are located under the bonnet down in front of the fuse box under a plastic cover.
