    We purchased a 2015 shogun auto yesterday and all was going well up to this evening, connected the trailer lights and theyre was no lights. Wasn't impressed as they were working fine on old jeep and still are on other car, but that was onky the start of the problem when I got home without the trailer the indicators had stopped working but hazard lights still work. Now they're are no lights on the dash and the car starts and runs but then dies after about 3 seconds. Can't find any fuse thats gone and the radio and other lights are working fine.
    Will be going back to the garage asapbut would be great if we could just get it running to be able to drive it back.

    Any thoughts much appreciated.......

    HI , not to sure what it could be ,but I would start be checking grounds and connections at battery and body of veichle for any corrosion or any loose connections. Start at battery and remove connections and lightly sand the poles and clamps this will ensure your getting a good connection there anyways. . Keep us updated here anyhow. Thanks

    Get it recovered to where you bought it.

    Have you recovery on your insurance.

    Let the garage fix.

    What happens if you keep your foot on the gas as you start it? Given the other electrical issues I might be looking towards immobilizer

    Probably best to not try and get any further as, if you resolve issues, they won't be there when garage goes to look at them. Garage needs to resolve this.
