Thanks for the replies.

Looking at the RAVE documentation, the purple wire connect to multiple areas such as:

SWITCH-ROOF ON (S248)
HEADER 0285 (K109)
INSTRUMENT PACK (J100)
RELAY-ILLUMINATION (FUSE 14)
LAMP-LOAD SPACE (B140)
(DIMMER) (NO DIMMER) (AUTO ILLUM)
LAMP-INTERIOR-FRONT (B100)
LAMP-INTERIOR-REAR (B104)
MIRROR-VANITY-LH (B153)
DIAGNOSTIC SOCKET (V100)
SWITCHHORN-LH (S341)
(FUSE 9)
COIL-TRANSPONDER (D219)
CD AUTO CHANGER (F102)

There's probably more I've missed...

If anyone is able to let me know what a multi meter reading is from this wire to ground with the interior light switch on and off
And then to the battery positive terminal it might help me and if they get continuity to ground too.
The wire can be located by popping out the front interior courtesy lamp and its the middle cable in the 3 pin plug.

My Battery is good, I have even swapped it out with one from my van and a spare.

I should also Add my diag socket does not receive any power until I connect the purple wire - I've got a Chinese clone reader but it doesn't talk to the CCU - just engine management stuff where there are no related faults.

The ODB socket takes power from fuse F14 in the fuse box which is fed from Fusible Link 4 under the bonnet and from there the battery.

FL4 just powers the fusebox, nothing else, is there any power in the fuse box? If not FL4 is your culprit.

Looks like the purple wires go to fuse F14 to.

I'd waterboard F14 till it starts working.

Although it must be if stuff works when you power it.

So it must be (or possibly not!) FL4 that is caput. Or the wiring from it.

That, boys and girls, is why you should never practice waterboarding.

There is power getting to the Fusebox under the dash and I'm sure I've tested engine bay fuse F4 (80A) that links to Electric windows, fuse box/relay plate-fascia, heated rear window, multifunction control module for continuity but that was in circuit. I will remove it encase there is a short etc giving a false positive.

I'm also waiting for some contact cleaner to arrive and will go to town on all connections encase there is any hidden corrosion / crust that I cant see.
