77 Silver Shadow no power to dash/ not starting

[Tee1]

Hi guys, so started the car this morning and it just cut out never to start again, new battery, checked power from battery and all is well and there is also power to the starter but the ignition light, oil light and dials have no power. electric windows are working but nothing on turn of key, any suggestions?

Could be the ammeter shunt.

Could be a failed park sensor (though that shouldn't have caused it to cut out).

Do the fuel pumps click when turning the key on?

Cheers,
Jeff.

Nothing clicks when turning key. As though there is no battery connected. Could it be faulty ignition switch? Obviously electrical as there is no power

Yes, the ignition switch boxes are known to fail.

Thanks Jeff will check those, has also been mentioned the ammeter shunt may be the culprit as I did try to jump start the battery a few days ago
