Ok, here's the situation. This morning I get into my car and I noticed that the dome light did not come on. With that I figured the fuse for the accessories was blown. After testing all the accessories worked, ie power mirrors, seat, hatch release. So I check anyways and all the fuses are fine. So I go on and try to go to work. After starting the car I turned the headlights on and nothing. They won't even turn on. Yet the strange part is that the brake lights will work and if I armed my alarm, the parking lights would flash. After messing with it for about 5 minutes, the parking lights will not flash now with the alarm.

So my question is what would cause it to where none of the lights, internal or external, will not come on? I need to get this fixed by this weekend. Thanks all.

Ok so it's been a few days and nobody has any clues huh? Well just to add to it, none of my accessories work either(power mirrors and door locks). I was replacing the headlight switch to be sure that wasn't it and it wasn't. So after checking all the fuses, and them being fine, I have no clue on what the problem is now. Any help would be helpful.

Thanks,
Eric

 

Sounds like your in the same boat as me. Several of my accessories don't work, or they do things they SHOULDN'T do.

Opening the doors doesn't cause the dome light to activate, it causes the dash and gauge lights to come on!!

So this is a friendly bump to hopefuly help someone to see your problem. I wish I could be more helpful, but I'm as lost on electrical as you are right now.

 

You've probably blown the headlight fuseible link under the hood. Your alarm was able to flash the parking lights initially because it gets power from the ignition switch harness. But after flashing the lights enough, you probably blew the alarms parking light fuse due to a short.

 

Basically is was on the fusable link idea. The problem actually was that the connector on the start on 1 of the fuseable links was not that great. After messing with the connection, every things seems to be fine.
