Discussion:
Dash doesnt light up AND no start??

I told my buddy I would have a look at his forklift. Not sure the year but seems "newer". The complaint was NO START. First thing I noticed was the dash screen or any lights do not light up at all. I thought Id start by looking at the diagnostic codes......but the screen doesnt light up. The forklift cranks but will not start.
So before I went in too deep......Is there a relation here? Should it matter if the screen doesnt light up? Or is this telling me the ecu/computer is dead or?? fuse or??
K25L Nissan engine. Unsure of year?
Thanks for the help!!

Ok so I pulled the plug from the bottom of the fuse block there were only 2 wires there in the plug. But when I jumped 2 out of the 3 pins at the bottom of the fuse block the dash lit up! And it starts!!
So, does anyone know where I can get a schematic? Im close....just need to understand what I jumpered and where the other ends of these 2 wires go,
Must be an ignition relay somewhere?

I tested for power in the fuse block

NO POWER at these fuses (These 6 are beside each other)
VCM
QGS/OTHERS
METER PANEL
BACKUP/OTHERS

These fuses HAVE POWER
WORKINGLAMP
ETC
A/C
WIPER
HEADLAMP
HORN
STOMPLAMP
EGI
EGI

So.....Where does my power for the first fuses come from? Relay?
