Electrical Problems (checked ALL fuses), Dome Lights, Hazards & Clock not working Options

[smartsalman]

Hey guys..

just bought a 1995 Celica... everythings fine with it except for few electrical problems... cant figure out whats going on..

Heres what happens.. NONE of my interior lights work, the clock doesn't work and hazards dont turn on. I checked ALL the fuses (under the hood and under the steering wheel) and they all work fine (used a tester to check)

I searched a LOT on this forum and people are saying it COULD be a grounding problem, if so how do I fix that? If its not what do you guys think it is?

Also I noticed today when my doors are closed car is running, hand break is up and gear is in Park and seat belt is not in, the clock will turn on and say "1:00" but its VERYY faint like I can barely see it..


What do ya guys think?

thanks.

That's not going to effect the clock or interior lights.

Do your turn signals work?

When you say no interior lights, what about dash lights, door courtesy lights, light around ignition switch, radio illumination, ect.

Are there any lights at all that work inside the car?

How about your cigarette lighter?

Turn signals work,

Dash lights work, courtesy lights dont work, there is not light around ignition, radio illumination does work, Dome lights dont work, inside trunk light doesnt work. Door chime doesnt work.

Cigarette lighter does work.

Well, you probably have several issues, unless a harness is [partially] cut somewhere.
Your dome fuse powers most of those, so I would double check that.
However your hazards aren't powered by that fuse, so it's possible the flasher is bad, or the switch.

It does sound like a ground problem, however there are multiple grounds involved here, and the cigarette lighter shares a ground with some of the non working parts, so that kind of throws that out the window.

Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with the 6th gens, so I don't know exactly how the wiring is routed and where.
