    Vectra's have a CANBUS system which is notorious for odd-ball faults. As the PAS went first, I wonder do you have a faulty alternator or slipping drive belt?

    when i turn the key nothing happens, its completely silent, i dont think its a battery/alternator issue becuause when i disconnect the battery and reconnect it it starts as normal .ie the battery isnt flat...thats why i think its a circuit issue. my friend thinks it might be a broken wire going to a controller. would that make sense?
