Was driving my hilux up the driveway today and it stopped and now has no power anywhere iv checked all fuses and earths and leads and the plugs i can find i took the fuse box off under the bonnet and checked if any wires were off under there and everything is clean and tidy so im really stuck now as to what it is, its like it has no battery in it at all but iv tried a different battery and still the same, any help please!

Start at the start. Check the earth wire from the battery to the body for good connections. Then check the positive terminals are good and follow the battery wires. Check all connections, and fuses as you go.

Do you have a main fuse in a plastic 'box' right beside the battery!

theres only small fuses in the box by the battery,iv been asked about the fusible link but to be honest i dont know what it is or where it is, a guy said under the fuse box but theres nothing there

theres 4 bigger fuses in there "am1" "am2" "glow" "alt" the glow one was blown so i grabbed one from my other truck but no change, the am1 and am2 are 30amp and 40 amp and glow and alt are 80amp.

If an 80 amp fuse has blown, then it sure will have found any weaknesses in the battery wiring and connections! Time to get a multimeter on to it - that will quickly find the faulty connection! Best guess is the main negative earth connection to the chassis - it may look OK superficially but be corroded underneath.

There is a mention on Google of the fusible link being in the NEGATIVE lead from the battery to the chassis on '86 Hiluxes! Maybe your model has one there too!
