Q: Instruments, interior lights, radio, and power windows not working.

asked by on December 29, 2015

My instrument cluster, interior lights, power windows, and radio don't work.

I would test all your fuses and make sure they are all good. There should be one for the instrument cluster and interior lights. Have a mechanic from YourMechanic do it if you are unsure how.
