no fuses popped.

Does not work:
cruise, interior lights, cig lighter (the one in dash, console works), power mirrors

Does work:
rear wiper, front wiper, dash/dimmer lights, blower fan

Unknown:
defroster, radio is aftermarket (actual power wiring may not be from original circuit)

from what i remember off hand.

any ideas?

Re: electrical failures

Crack open your service manual and look at the schematic. I'm pretty sure you'll find all those item have a common point, either power, ground or a splice.

Re: electrical failures

Did you pull the fuses right out and try another one? I have had fuses look ok and even test across the top ok but were no good, try that first. I agree with Kevin, they probably all have a common point, and are all on the same circuit.

Re: electrical failures

Can't remember which one it is (HORN fuse maybe??) Do your dash lights work? Mine blew a few weeks ago when I went to plug in a charger to the cigarette lighter.

IIRC, I lost fog lights, dash lights, radio, rear hatch button and something else.

EDIT: overlooked the part where you said dash lights work, so possibly/probably not the HORN fuse.

Re: electrical failures

Yea my fiance often pushes her phone charger in to far when she drives it, and it drops the radio, horn, but not dash lights...
Something fishy here. Just figured I would throw it out there if somebody had same issue. Guess ill tear into.

Re: electrical failures

Ya, electrics are no fun. I have the FULL Syclone wiring diagrams book. (Inside the cab is not covered in the Sy supplement.) Trouble is you have a Ty. I can look and see what it covers and what I can find. Have to be Monday though.
