    Emergency! Help!

    I have no brake lights, turning signals dont work wipers dont work, cruise control dont work and that control check panel dont work. i checked the fuse and it looks good. this happend before and last time i just shooked stuff in the fuse box and it started working again and sometimes when i hit bumps it comes back on? im so confused could it be a loose ground some where or corrosion in the fuse box? has anyone have a similar issue? thanks for the help

    Sounds like a loose connection on the fuse block. Turn the car on and check for power on either terminal of the fuse (with the fuse taken out). If you're missing the power, then you have a problem before the fuse and need to trace the broken wire, which is likely in the fuse box.

        ok i checked fused 6 and 4 and the voltage is at 4mv. and i checked the other fuses voltage and there were like at 13-14v. does anyone know where i can get a wire diagram for free online? i removed the upper housing of the fuse box and just shooked the wire in the box and it went back to normal? i dont know what to do anymore i guess i fixed it but i want to fix it right....

              check the grounding connection on yoru starter. if you have the late model cars, they have 4 connection, and one of hte ground regulates the interior lights. ask me how I know.
