keyless entry, radio and other stuff quit working

For some reason the keyless entry, radio, clock and visor mirror lights quit working on my car. The climate control still turns on and works. I didn't see any fuses that looked blown. I have had the gauge cluster out though, I'm not sure if removing, then replacing it had anything to do with it? Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I have no idea.

You probably pinched a wire when you removed the gauge cluster.

Look under the hood at the fuses. I'm sure you blew one.

Is there any particular fuse under the hood? I looked in the long skinny fuse box that has the ignition fuses and didn't see any blown in there.

Dont just look. Check them with a circuit tester. If you can spot a blown mini fuse just by sight then you have super vision

Check the ELEC fuse that is in the interior fuse box. It is in the top right hand corner. I had that happen to me too and I just took it out and put it back and everything work again.

I fixed it!! I couldn't figure it out, I was going through all the fuses seeing if any were blown, and I didn't see the top fuse (#40 I don't know the name but it is a 7.5A fuse) until I pulled the bottom of the dash off to change a gauge cluster light. That fuse is so far up there, I didn't see it. I didn't have any spare 7.5A fuses, so I put in a 10A one for now.

I will put in the correct fuse when I can get into town. I think it should be alright for a little while. After I bought my car I found a bare wire stuffed in a blown ignition fuse under my hood. It basically eliminated any fuse and I ran the car with that for about 5 months before noticing it. And thanks, it WAS a nice car. check out my cardomain
