Car locks, radio, nav don't work
 
Had a flood problem on Thursday and was finally able to get it to start today. But now there are problems that weren't there before. The radio doesn't work. The nav doesn't work, and the power door locks don't work. The accessory fuse looks fine. Help!

OK, locks work now. Nav and radio still don't work.

Also, the guages go all the way to max, then back down to zero, when I insert the key and turn it to ON (not to Start).

Can you tell us what else works/doesn't work?
Interior lights?
Power and heated seats (if applicable)?
Power windows?
Sunroof (if applicable)
Outer Mirrors move?

I assume you have the gauges tapped into the cig lighter circuit... which tells us the ACC circuit is good.
You could be looking at the 30A BTN or 15A ROOM fuse... but if your locks work now, may not by the BTN fuse.

Now the locks don't work again!

Mirrors work.

Interior lights, power windows don't. Don't have power seats or a sunroof.

Can your car start?

gusmahler 06-05-2010 11:37 AM

Car starts fine today (though not the previous three days.)

Also, the sun visor broke, which, according to other searches, may be the cause of the problem.

Jon316G 06-05-2010 11:41 AM

I'm looking at the circuit for the power windows (eventually we'll get to an "intersection" where all these failed devices meet) and there are only a few fuses.
The 120A MAIN fuse... which can be ruled out if the car will attempt to start now.
The 30A BTN fuse... which is a very likely candidate.
And the 30A P WIND fuse... which is only for the power windows and won't affect the others.

I'll try to find where the visor circuit is just in case.

Jon316G 06-05-2010 11:44 AM

OK... visor receives voltage from the 15A ROOM fuse.
The ROOM fuse receives voltage from the 30A BTN fuse...
I would check the BTN fuse AND the 15A ROOM fuse!

Can't just be the ROOM fuse if he doesn't have working power windows... different circuit.
Just look at the electrical diagram!

Not saying the ROOM fuse isn't blown... but I would also look at the BTN since that supplies voltage to the power windows AND the ROOM fuse.

gusmahler 06-05-2010 12:01 PM

Room fuse was blown. Replaced it and the radio and locks work.

Didn't check the windows, though. I'll check those. If they don't work, I'll check the BTN fuse.

Thanks for your help!

gusmahler 06-05-2010 12:09 PM

LOL, I'm an idiot. The power windows were turned off. They work fine. Thanks again for all your help

Jon316G 06-05-2010 12:13 PM

LOL... its all good... glad everything is working now :)
