*Electrical* Weird issues

[lazykhoe]

My dome light, map lights, power windows and locks only work when the car is running. If put into the on and ACC position nothing works. Any ideas? Thx. BTW, already checked all fuses on the inside and the engine bay, all good under the hood.

I would check your ignition and the wires....may not be making contact in the acc postion.

sounds to me like a ground problem. check behind the driver side kick panel, from there up about 8 inches there are some grounds for courtesy. see if those grounds have any corrosion on them, loose or maybe broken wire.

if none of this works take a multimeter and start checking continuity along all of the grounds for courtesy lights. you will have to start at each thing, like start at the dome lamp. or the buzzer or whatever.

last but not least, if this doesnt work then start checking for broken hot wires.

whether it's a ground or hot wire bad, then it will be one that controls all courtesy things inside the car. hope this helps you out
