This morning when I started my car it turned over and started, but the interior lights and the heater would not function at all. What could this be caused by?

Thank you for your donation.

Start with simple things first, check fuses, also has there ever been an issue with the heater or lights before? I will have a look at the schematic drawing and see if there is anything in common with the circuits. report back if fuses are ok. the only thing i can think of straight away, is that they both may be controlled by the same body control module, if so they may set a fault code, look at that as well.
