I have a 96 camry. It runs well. I turned it on this afternoon and none of my dash works, the air conditioner and radio do not work. My electric windows do not work. I had some one check the fuses (main ones) and they said they were ok. Other than the fuses can anyone help me as to what it might be, since it's the entire electrical system it seems. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The common element to those problems is a ground. Check all grounds from the battery to the engine, remove and clean both ends. Remove and clean the ground from the engine to the fire wall. Remove and clean the groud to the car frame. I think you will solve the problem.

Suggested Repair

Inspect and clean all related grounds: battery-to-engine connections at both ends, the engine-to-firewall ground, and the ground to the car frame.

A 1996 Toyota Camry runs well, but the dash, air conditioner, radio, and power windows all stopped working. Main fuses were checked and reported OK. The expert said the shared cause is likely a bad ground and recommended removing and cleaning the battery-to-engine, engine-to-firewall, and frame grounds.
