Hi guys,
My samurai won't start! Basically I took it out on some green lanes then stopped off turned it off and when I turned the key nothing happened! No electrics are working and when you turn the key still nothing works. I've tried jump leads and check the fuses under the dash still nothing!
I would really appreciate any help!

Thank you! Would that stop any electrics from working?

Am I right in saying I should still be able to jump start it to get it running??

Nope, power to starter motor but no power to starter solenoid/ignition circuit.

Sounds like the fuse link has blown.

Darrell, Thank you for your help! Turned out to be the fuse link, the cable had snapped. I managed to press it together to get enough contact to start it.
Does anyone know where you can buy new ones from?

I managed to source one from a dealer so all good.
