Wiring Problems

Hey guys, I just got a new 90 GXE and theres some problems. First off the drivers window works fine but all else are dead! Fuse or relay mabey? Neither does the dash lights, sun roof, temp control lights only work when headlight are turned off. I checked all fuses and they're all good. Any easy way to check relays??? What about a bad ground? But its limited to those electronics alone. All guages and heater fan work still.

Any help would be appreciated, gonna try to start somewhere tomorrow.

Concerning the power windows, I had a similar problem. Drivers window worked from master control, others didn't. Other windows would go up and down from individual door switch though. I bought a junkyard master switch replacement on ebay for less than $10. All work perfect now.
If your windows don't work from each individual door switch, you may have a wiring problem, either ground or power. They are all tied together.

I would check the dimmer switch that controls how bright your dash gets at night

WIndows don't work from individual switches, either, but passenger side clicks when activated from drivers master switch

well the lock switch on my 90GXE actually makes it so the door switches are disabled, but surprisingly to me, the lock switch disabled my driver side controls for the windows as well. so in order for me to use any of the other 3 windows i have to have it unlocked... but i'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be or not.
