New member, hello all. Just bought a 2008 XB12scg and on the way home I've had an electrical failure. The sidelights, indicators, clocks and warning lights all work but it won't turn starter motor (relay under seat clicks though), no main lights, no horn, no brake lights. All fuses are ok, earth's seem fine and ive checked as best I can for loose connections. Any suggestions very gratefully received. Thanks.

Swap the relays around........starter relay carries the h/lamps in NO and closes to feed the starter.

I've swapped the relays about and it's now working again (after a 2 hour wait and a run home on an AA truck!) Now I need a new spare relay. Any idea where I can get one from?
Thanks.
