There is a relay that switches the ignition power for almost everything
ignition powered, except for the engine.
The engine is feed directly from the ignition switch.
This relay quite often overheats it's terminals in the fusebox.
I forget exactly which one it is but if you pull them out one at time
you should see the discoloured pins and possibly melted plastic.

P.S , I did send this several days ago but just to Bernie by mistake.

Hi,
I have a 2+2 and on Monday after driving for 50-60 miles I noticed
that the indicators had suddenly stopped working.
I had actually just joined the A1(M) so over the next few miles a
check revealed that the only thing still working was the engine. No
indicators, radio, heater fan, electric windows, fuel gauge - the list
goes on. I left the A1(M) and pulled into a layby.
I pulled the bonnet release, got out of the car, went to the nearside
to open the bonnet and my wife then said that the radio had started
working. (Unfortunately I didn't have time to check the lights)
A further check revealed that everything else was back on line.
I did wonder whether the action of opening the door or using the boot
release may have re-disturbed the wiring to make everything work again
but when I got home and tried to move the wiring, where possible,
everything kept on working.
I am now assuming that with everything failing that this is not a
relay/fuse issue and it is a (major) intermittent earthing fault.
However before starting a major hunt which will probably involve
removing the dashboard I was looking for any suggestions,
recommendations, advice as to whether my diagnosis is correct or
whether it could be some simple fix!
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Thanks
Phil Holden
