check and go through the fuses for the electrical box in the car. When this happened to me, the car required a new alternator. Actually it is a pretty inexpensive repair to do yourself (I did it with my Dad instructing me - a 30-something year-old female who hates to be at the mercy of thiefy mechanics). Make sure you unhook the battery first so you don't get a few jolts of juice. Depending on the make and year of your car the problem could be in your turn signal switch / steering wheel assembly if you have electronic controls in your car

It could be as simple as one corroded or dirty connection at the battery.

1997 Ford Taurus will not turn over - heater fan not work but lights windows radio work - starter ok?

It COULD be the keyswitch. Lights do not take power from the keyswitch and all of the other equipment that you mentioned working only get power from the accessory position. It could be a bad connector. Don't replace parts until you have found out what's wrong. Indiscriminate parts replacement causes more problems than taking the time to figure out what's wrong. Also check the solenoid switch which is connected to the battery via the short positive battery cable . These are problematic.


If you grounded a bare wire while installing speakers in a 1994 Dodge Ram and now the interior lights and radio don't work but the fuses are all good what could be wrong?

AnswerThe fuse for the radio's constant power and the domelight might be located under the hood in the fuse panel there. Also the same fuse should power the cigar lighter.Hey theres also another place that may have gone wrong, if you have power seats under the driver side, the plug is either corroded or you must put a jumper wire from the redwire with a light blue stripe to the pink wire, this will power up the radio, the interior lights and the power mirrors. I chased this down for 5 hrs to figure it out. good luck.


The cigarette lighter was pushed in and now neither the radio nor the cigarette lighter will work What could be wrong?

Most likely the fuse is blown, many cars have the cigar lighter and the radio on the same circut.

What is wrong if the radio and dome lights went out in your 1997 Isuzu rodeo simultenously could it be a fuse and if so where is it located?

If the dome lights and the radio went out at the same time on a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo, it could be a fuse. There are two fuse boxes on that vehicle. One is on the passenger side in the engine compartment and one is located in the dash on the driver's side. The fuse for the radio is in the dash fuse box.

Error appeared on the radio screen and now the car wont start?

Will your lights headlights come on? Will anything work? Had something like that happen to me years ago. I had no lights and nothing worked. Turned out it was an alternator. There could be something else that would be wrong but, it would be something to check out.


What could be wrong with my 2003 accord radio lights they aren't working all other lights are?

Failure of the display on 2003 and later Accord radio/CD players is evidently common. Because it's a commonly known defect Honda should replace the radio free even if it's out of warranty. That's a VERY good thing because the radio/CD changer itself will apparently set you back about $800 just for the new part from Honda.
