I notice that my interior lights didn't turn on at night nor does the vanity mirrors lights, sunroof and all four (4) windows are all inoperable! Therefore I checked the fuses under the steering wheel and the fuses under the hood in the engine compartment, but notice neither of the two are getting power in order for me to test the fuses. Therefore I took them out to check and the inner wires are good without break or burn out. What is the problem and is this a recall issue? Oh, or is it a shortage of some kind?

Hello,

If you are not getting power to the fuse box then you have an open in the circuit that supplies power to the Under hood Fuse Box. It goes there first and then to the Instrument Panel Fuse Box from there. In the diagrams down below I have included a interesting Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) as well as the Power Distribution Wiring Diagrams for your vehicle and a guide on how to find opens in an automotive electrical circuit. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
