Electrical problem, power locks, horn, dome light
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone may have any ideas for me. My power locks, horn and dome light have ceased to function. I haven't released the hatch since this has happened in fear that the motor may not pull it closed. I've checked fuses, they all appear to be in tact. I don't suppose anyone may have any ideas for me? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

It sounds like you blew a fusible link...check the ones at the starter.If your not familar with fusible links they are like fuses but in a wire form.If their blown you can gently tug on them and they will break apart.Check the starter and there might be some on a junction block near the radiator.Follow the thick red wire at the back of the alternator and see where it leads if it will go directly to this junction block where you will find about two fusible links and if it runs directly to the battery then I would say most are at the starter(not sure on the v8 models)The next thing to figure out is what made it blow.It appears like the hatch release is also tied, so I dont think its going to work either.
