Unhappy My electronis wont work! Help!!!!

So the other day my friend stepped on an exposed wire which mad a large spark and since then none of my electronics work!

Windows, door locks, radio, clock, seats, and anything else electronic will not work!!

The speedometer works fine, the odometer is fine, but the tripometer resets ever time the car turns on and off.


Someone please help!!!

You may have bypassed the fuses, if you have already checked them all, and blown something up. Unless you are good with electronics I would recommend you take it to a good shop.

Why do you have an exposed wire in your car in the first place?

Check all fuses as said, in both the kick panel and under the hood. The two that Jon pointed out are very good bets with the 30A BTN be most likely!

whenever i read the title of the thread, i read
"My electrons won't work! Help!!!"

and I think that you have bigger problems, if you just broke physics.
