help! electrrical problem

My clock, rear window motors, anti teft(that stuff that beeps when you leave the door open while the key is in the ignition) all stopped working at the same time. It did this once in the past and after the car sat for a while( 5 months) they all started working when I started driving the car again. But now it all stopped working again. I have checked all the fusses and the wiring but I cant find anything. Has anyone had this experience? Please help.

Anyone please! I think my headlights are being affected too. When I turn them on they are at high beam and when I put them at high beam, they switch to low.

Replace the relays if needed. Make sure everything is connected correctly.

Hi guys,

I checked all the fuses and fuse no 40 had blown off.Just put one in and everything works except rear speakers, at least i have 2 front speakers.I have to troubleshoot the rear speakers.

take care and check ALL the fuses, don't go by name just check all of them,

good luck,
jay

Yeah seriously, what up with the labels for our fuses? I was trying to figure out why my A/C didn't work turned out to be a fuse, the AIR CON fuse was fine, it was another one that was blown that didn't say anything related to A/C..

Which one did you replace because my a/c compressor is not working. When the a/c is turned on the air blows but it does not cool. The compressor is good I ran a hot wire straight to the battery and it worked

Honestly I do not know, I was at the A/C shop getting freon put in it and the guy put in the fuse and it magically turned on... I'll take a look for you in a few minutes since he put a new fuse it should be easy to spot it... Give me a few minutes..

Sorry man the only one I saw that was NEW compared to the others was #6 and that was the CIG LIGHTER, i dont think it would be that one but anyways, check all your fuses, and if theres any missing fuses put in a fuse to check if the compressor turns on...
