Hello all!

I've had my z for almost a year now, ran fine until a couple months ago. I was driving on the highway and it just shut off, couldn't get it started again. I've replaced the PTU, CAS, and alternator. I pulled off the steering column cover to check out the ignition switch and that's when I could no longer get the lights on the dash to come on. I tried checking the ecu for codes and Im not getting power to it cuz the light doesn't come on. I've tried wiring up an ignition and I've had no success

Please and thank you for the help

I suppose you've checked or replaced your battery, yes? The ignition switch should give you lights on the dash. Also check your fuses to make sure nothing is blown.

Not saying you didn't, but it's good practice to unhook the -ve terminal on the battery when you do work on the car's wiring.

Check the main power routing box next to the battery, some all important fusable links in there. when they blow you get no power.
