Hadn't used the masterace for a couple of weeks so when it wouldn't start I assumed the dodgy rear door latch had meant that the interior light by the sliding door had stayed on and flattened the battery.
However even trying to jump start it didn't have any more effect than cause what I assume to be the solenoid to click. Now thw dashboard lights that normally come on when you turn the key don't and the only electrical equipment that seem to work, with another battery attached, are the hazard lights and the headlights. None of the fuses under the dash seem to be burnt out but unsure of how the circuit breakers operate or how to reset them if they could be the cause.

Just had a similar problem myself. The interior light would come on & off by moving a positive battery lead.
Might be worth looking at that e.g cleaning & checking tightness of connections.
