Gooooooood morning dudes and dudettes.

The other night my keto daily died, and yeah, just at a loss on why exactly it died. Here's the problem...

So, was driving along at night, all seems to be fine. Coming up to a set of lights, so push the clutch in to coast a few metres and the dash lights die... odd. Rev's slowly go down as they usually do, but they keep going down... bam, engine goes off. Headlights are still on and very bright, so it ain't voltage, can rule that out straight up. Try and crank it but no response. Do get a nice little light on the dash that says CHARGE!!!!11one, but still no dash lights. Note that indicators won't work, but hazards do. Very odd.

So, get my lazy ass out of the car, check terminals, grounding, etc, everything seems to be fine. Dad arrives, we hook up jumper cables, just incase the battery just can't put out the amps anymore.... but no luck. Decide that a push start might work, and it does, but, can't let revs drop too far or it'll just flat line, which is all good, just means I need to heel toe when coming up to lights, lol.

Let it rest overnight thinking it might be just something having overheated or something, and that it should crank over fine in the morning. No luck again. Push start it and drive it in morning traffic (a little difficult) to my mums for an autopsy.

First obvious thought is ignition system. Gotta be something wrong in that area, you'd imagine. So replaced the coil, leads, plugs, points, and everything is now shiney. Yay! Despite these areas needing the refresh anyway, still wouldn't crank. Check all fuses, nothing's blown at all, either engine bay or cabin side. Still haven't checked fusable links, will have to try that today. Having thought dash lights and crankage might be an unrelated problem, we try and mess with the starter motor. Take it off, put 12v up to it, and it works fine. Throw it back in, put a multimeter on the signal that should be coming from the relay, but nothing!

Now I believe that there could be a problem with a plug or earth, or even the ignition barrel! Anyone know the likely suspect for this problem? I hate running through under dashes without having a particular target...

Further more, anyone else got a theory?
