    I was driving along and my engine hesitated and i heard a little "bleep" noise and some lights came up then the engine stalled. It restarted fine and i got home, put it in park and it stalled again. Now it won't start at all, no lights on the dash, no fuel pump. Nothing at all.

    Any ideas?

    Hey Mate,
    Dosn't sound good, but i would start by looking at the errors codes that are logged, there's a how to section you should check out first, once you have something to go on let us know...
    As it is now what your describing could be a large number of issues.
    Good luck mate!

    Just had NRMA out. They said there's "no accessory feed to (through?) the ignition" and that it's an auto electrician job. I know how to check for error codes but how would that work if there's no dash lights?

    check your main fuse it may have blown, or even check the feed wire coming from the alternator

    Got it fixed. It was a burnt out wire connection on the alarm.

    Did you find out why the wire burnt out in the first place?
    Coz if you didn't it might burn out again. :(

    The auto electrician said it was one of the wires in the alarm (aftermarket) that carries a lot of current, and it doesnt take much to burn them out. He put in a much bigger connection so it won't be a problem anymore.
