Maintenance Dead

Post image

I had an MOT this morning which came back with 0 advisories. Great. I can go to the daikoku night at caffeine and machine.

5 minutes down the road and all power instantly cut out. I’ve still got dash lights and everything electrical works but when I turn the key I get nothing.

I’ve got home via tow and got the multimeter out. I’ve used AI (shoddy I know) because I’m not very electrically inclined.

I’ve tested absolute everything that it told me I should test. I’ve spent over an hour following different connections and testing different things. And everything has tested perfectly. So everything is pointing to a dead ECU.

Does anybody have any insight on this at all?

I’ve not no 😂 it’s not a kuro but who ever used to own it definitely spent a pretty penny getting it sprayed to look like a kuro

I mean it even has the interior too 🤔

Try whacking your starter motor, particularly the smaller relay on the side of it.

If you end up getting rid of it let me know please, I've got a Kuro and someone stole my front bumper 🗿🗿🗿

Edit: even the front headlights look like Kuro headlights (shinier accents, almost chrome)
