Default 100 csq electrical problems

I recently blew a fuse on my 100csq. Replaced the fuse. Now I have no Headlights, climate control, signals, power windows, and wipers. Everything else seems to be OK. Can't find any other fuses that are blown


Help!!!!!

Yes I've tried this. It's funny but my wife used to drive the car and she said turn the ignition key around.....I thought that might be it but no good. Could the switch be bad?

Default Turn it slightly counterclockwise, from "start" to "run"...

You've just experienced the broken switch problem. File a complaint with NHTSA please.

FYI

It was the ignition switch. However I had a mechanic do it. After removing the instrument cluster, it seemed like a job to to get at the swith.

Total cost: $260.00

Hate to tell ya but you got ripped. I just had my ignition switch replaced for a little under $170 at the local dealership The switch was $34.95 (with tax) and the labor and misc shop fees made up the rest. They also fixed the telescoping adjustment on my steering wheel while they were at it for no charge. And as I recall you don't have to remove the instrument cluster to get to the switch, only have to drop that lower panel below the switch and steering wheel.

But then again, they hammered me with a $241.00 (not including labor) high pressure power steering hose the month before.

Win some, lose some I guess.

FYI: You do have to pull the cluster to remove the set screws on top.
