    Yes the panel lights were coming on, and stayed on as long as the key was engaged. Had it towed to mechanic, is was a 50 amp fuse for the ignition. thanks

2007 Toyota Camry. Dome light, radio, cigarette lighter, horn and clock not working and all fuses are good on both fuse boxes. Any one knows why?

All of those are controlled by or influenced the BCM. You need a good auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool to check the BCM and communication to and from it.

2002 wj 4.0L starts and dies after 2 seconds,

Make sure that you have good battery connections and a fully charged battery. There should be aux feed wires to the fuse power distribution center. Make sure that all fuses and relays are good.

Havin 04 cavalier problem....

Double check the fuses. Also, there are usually TWO fuses for the radio. One has power when the car switch is OFF. This keeps the clock working and your radio presets set. The other is when you turn the key on. The horn not working can be tested if you have a 12V test light (Wal*Mart sells them...). Unplug the horn, hook up the test light, press the horn button. If the light glows, you've got a bad horn (go to your local junkyard for one). If not, recheck ALL the fuses. Good Luck

Geo tracker lights and radio not working

power loss.
any good car elect. tech find this pronto.
just takes a volt meter to find the voltage drop point.

top fails:
1: corroded fuse box on right front finder (under fuse box)
2: did you say it kills motor too. cant figure above.

what about heater fan, it uses tons of current.
as does HL followed by tails.

20amps, 15amps and 5amps respectively

you have resistance some where.
and load , kills the voltage .

for me.
i'd:
check battery voltage , when it dims out.
then of ok 12.5v is ok key on,not started.
then check voltages at a right fender , fuse panel
all points there, 12.5vdc , same as battery v.
if OK
then
check voltage at the fuse above right knee
with load full, hl, fan, brakes, just key on.

now you know what circuit is fail ing by now.

report back with this facts.
