It sounds like a short in your ignition switch. I assume you engine will not start? Check your fuses because if it is a short it should have blown a fuse or you would have smelled burning isolation from the wires. If you find a fuse blown it could give you a starting place to start checking. If the ignition fuse is blown it is in the ignition, wiring, starter or ignition key switch.

2001 chevy malibu dome light not working cant find the right fuse and power mirrors not working either

Dome light runs off the interior fuse. Dash, radio and others also. If the work, could be a bad bulb, switch or wire. Mirrors power comes from the master switch. Could be the mirror switch or mirror motors. If both quit working at the same time, look to the switch. If they died separately, After time. Replace the mirror assembly if you want them to work. They can be adjusted by hand.Push on the mirror.

Have a ford E-450 Van With 6.8L V10 When the Ignition switch is in the run position the fuel pump runs and radio comes on but no dash warning lights or guages move, when you continue towards start the dash...

they always come on when you turn the egnitiion switch then go out once you have started the vehicle and its normal for the fuel pump to come on infact thats one way mechanics can tell if the electric fuel pump is working or not i`m not seeing any problem here that all sounds normal.

2001 Chevy Malibu the car cranks but wont start I can hear the whine of the fuel pump coming on when I engage the ignition switch to on position, I can prime it and it will run for a few seconds...

sounds like a security problem-if the light is flashing leave the key turned on for about 10 min. until light stops flashing and then try to start engine-if this works you need to replace the pass loc sensor(ignition cylinder and housing)

1998 Chev Malibu; Fuel Guage shows Empty.

Hello: Thanks for the follow up. Yes I did fix it. Somehow the needle had slipped over the rest pin
on the guage face, so it rested down in the bottom of the guage. When power was applied it came
up but was now stuck UNDER the rest pin at the EMPTY mark. I got a suitable piece of wire, and
manouvered it through the Odometer reset shaft hole, and carefully worked the needle back on TOP
of the rest pin......Problem solved. I have leared that this happens quite frequently to these Malibus.

Thanks again,
Bill.
