The power steering in my car was acting up, no noises just hard to turn, I checked fluid it was fine. Today I drove to store, came out started car and power steering was working fine again, now my power windows, wipers and dome lights don't work. My dome light had been staying on before this so I had just took bulb out to save battery. I have checked fuses according to cars manual and they show good. Has anyone else had this wierd problem before? And what did you do to fix it?

After looking at my cars wiring diagram and seeing what controls what, I started with the wiring harness at the door and followed it down to were it plugs in right beside the fuse box and the harness was completely loose just hanging there. I plugged it in and heard the ding from the door and checked windows and wipers and it all worked. I also put bulb back in dome light and sprayed my door latches with wd40 and spray grease and door adjar light went off and my dome light is going off now. Fantastic help here! I will definitely be using 2CARPROS again. Thanks
