Electrical problem

Hello everyone I have an electrical fault on a Granada Wink Scorpio estate 2.5 turbo diesel 95 plate (frog eye).
 
The fault in question happened Tuesday morning this week turned key all dash lit up and all dials moved over to the other side and back then everything went dead and we have nothing from the ignition to date.
 
This is what I've done:
I've checked all fuses cleaned them and refitted I've checked and tested all relays and I've also removed stripped down and cleaned the auxiliary fuse box and replaced it back in situ and there's no circuit board inside as I've been told by a couple of people I've spoken to.
 
I've now managed to get working side lights, hazards, interia lights, central locking, horn and clock but cannot get any dash lights or anything else working from the ignition key.
 
At this point I'm now stuck.

hi there
 
sounds like the battery. the flicking dials is a sign of it. new type batteries can die just like that.

Yes,
 
Happened to me on Wednesday.  
 
Clicking and flicking dials!
 
Battery voltage through dash diagnostic was 10.2 volts.
 
On a hill so roll started it and when running dash diagnostic shows 14.1 or 14.2 volts.
 
Dropping on a new battery in the morning.

Hi there
Thanks for the advice I've managed to get everything working at the moment and all in came down to was a relay not properly in position even thou I'd checked everyone. It appears that one relay sit over the top of another and it was the one relay that was hidden from view.
 
Thanks again for all your help.
