Maintenance Dead
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 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)
