Hi there,
I need help with my car. My power windows, gauge light, and the interior accessories doesn't work. The back light don't work but when i step on breaks the break light works. The fan doesn't come on so the radiator gets hot. I bought a new alternator but it didn't make any changes. Any suggestions? |

Check all your fuses and relays ... ALWAYS do this with electrical before you go buy parts.

^That. Can get a fuse checker for cheap. Most fuse multi-packs come with one these days anyway. If you don't have one and have a multi-meter, can use that to check for continuity on the fuses. If you don't have a multi-meter, you'll need one anyway for checking electrical components.

Remember there are 2 fuse panels. Relays you can check easily. Listen for a click when you activate it. If it doesn't click, it's most likely bad. If it clicks, well that doesn't mean it's necessarily good; it might not be making a connection. Swap one in from another circuit that you KNOW works.

On the passenger side of the radiator, near the botttom and right next to the radiator hose, there is a fan switch screwed into the radiator. It looks like a temperature sensor. Unplug it. If the fans and relays are good the fans will kick on and run nonstop while this wire is unplugged
