I turned on my car and put in reverse when my radio made the noise it makes when I turn off the car. I noticed it was not working and the dash lights behind the heat is not working, the windshield wipers and the speedometer/odometer is not working. Any ideas? All the fuses were checked and are fine!

Any check gauges or check engine lights on? Well to me it sounds like a bad body control module. Body control module controls dash guages power locks windows radio all power options inside etc. Note this is not the main computer this is just a module it is called body control module. Must take vehicle to electrical shop to get it checked to make sure whats wrong. In case that you need the module do not buy it new get it used because new is too expensive and used possible $50.00 to $150.00. New $500.00 to $800.00 or more. Do not need new because these modules rarely fail. Good luck.
