Recently a friend of the family replaced my car battery. He also replaced a tiny piece in my ignition. My car now starts. Before the key wouldn't turn over or even start clicking or sputtering. Now that it runs fine three problems arises. My turn lights won't work, radio won't work, and windshield wipers won't work. Oddly enough, my electric windows work, my ac, headlights, brake lights all work. What could be the problem?

Welcome to 2carPros.

I need you to check two different fuses, numbers 14 and 15 in the fuse box on the left side of the dash. See pics for location and fuses orientation. In picture 2, I circled the two fuses to help locate them for you.

Now, here are a few links that will help you with checking and or replacing the fuses:

Check those two fuses. They power the three things you mentioned. I have a feeling you will find one is bad.

Feel free to ask questions if you need help. Also, if you could let me know what you find, I would appreciate it.

Take care,
Joe
