Discovery 3 2009 Electrics

Hello

So the car was running fine, parked up and came back to it a couple hours later and it’s dead. Alll electrical power has gone. Checked battery on charger and it’s saying it’s fully charged but still nothing.

What would be the next step? Waiting on RAC to arrive but that’s now been 5hours now and we need to get the car running for the morning.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Must be one of the main big fuses in the fuse box under the bonnet, how did you unlock it without any power?
It could also be the alternator, I would disconnect the battery if you can until you have further assistance, if it is the alternator it can short the battery out making it scrap in a very short time. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Used the key on the passanger handle, didn’t set the alarm off, can’t open any other door, i will check the fuses 1st.

Disconnect the battery ASAP if you have not already done so.
How did you check the battery with a battery charger?- did you disconnect it? It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Probably the earth strap to inner wing from battery. (If battery still has 12v)
