Default Electrical fault

Need advice. I have an automatic dico 2. I had to move with a truck so to a immobiliser problem I am sorting out. All lights and dash display was working fine. Now all is dead. I checked the battery and terminals, all is in perfect condition. No fuses are blown and all relays are good. Where else do I need to start looking?

If you know you have an alarm/ignition immobilizer problem, I would have it turned off in the ecu with a Hawkeye or Nanocom diagnostic tool.
The immobilizer is known to cause issues.
A forum member here rents a Nanocom by mail.

If all is dead then how is the battery in perfect condition? ReCheck your battery cable wiring and the fuse box again.

Start at the battery and work your way back until you find a connection where there should be 12V and isn't. If everything is dead, then it's probably either the battery cable or the engine fuse box itself.

I removed the battery and had it tested. I will take your advise and work it back. I live in namibia and can find no one with an dianostic tool locally. Not even the Landrover agent locally has one anymore. Any suggestion where I can maybe find one online? I

To be honest, I don't know if any of the people who sell diagnostic tools will deliver to Namibia. You can look on Ebay for either a Nanocom or a Bearmach Hawkeye, but I'm not sure how it would get to you.
