 Your model is the Gen 1, pre-face lift version.

Mine is the post face lift version.

 

The JPNZ Owners Handbook definitely states fuse 10 in the fuse box by the drivers seat.

 

Does the fuse box you have have 10 fuses, no more ?

 

My model is an MZ G Edition; so your seats are probably not the same as mine.

 

I'm sorry I cannot help further.

It's the part marked on the picture in struggling to find

Since changing a really (not quite sure it's the right one) I've now got lights on dash when the key is in position 2

I thought you had the barrel replaced already?

[drew12]

No I swapped the ignition switch, I have rang a Toyota garage about the ignition barrel but it has been discontinued so I now need to try and find a second hand one or see if an ignition barrel from a different Toyota or lexus fit 

[Picasso]

drew have you tried a spare key as i dont think it will be ignition barrell because if key turns ok barrell ok transponder pick up for the key is located on th out side of the barrel have attatched a drawing also you have the ignition starter switch both parts are available can point you in right direction of sellers

I have replaced the ignition starter switch but no luck, I need to get a new case for my spare key as it has fallen to bits.

 

I'm currently trying to find someone who will have a look at the car for me because I'm at dead end with it

This is trying to start the car with the spare key

Have you blown the starter replay fuse

No I don't think so i've replaced that I think, is it the far left relay the 3 pin one 

[Picasso]

The thing is you replaced it been OK now not not staring again this tells me you probably blown the fuse again but what's causing to blow I would check the fuse again and get the starter motor checked

I had a faulty battery on one occasion. 

 

Easy to test for a shorted cell; volt meter across battery, result will be about 10.5v if a cell is shorted.

This is without any load, and not under starting conditions.

 

Battery was also swollen, and was very warm !

Easy to detect !

 

I doubt this is the problem though.
