Car starts then stops, wiring problem
Thursday, March 08, 2007 3:58 PM
My car was recently broken into and the stereo was stolen. I went to start the car and it started but then quit. Also, the interior lights, headlights, fog lights and dashlights don't work. the blinkers, hvac and power utilities work though.

There is no power to the following fuses, cluster, int lamp, fog lamp, cig, ext lamp and r and l headlamps. I don't know much about the wiring of my car but I know it has to have some kind of common source power. I figure there is a break on a common source somewhere that supplies these things, but I have no idea where the wires in the fuse box come from. My haynes manual only tells me the circuits after the fuse and not before it where my problem is.

Should I just trace these wires back or is there somplace else I should look? (if I trace back I'll have to pretty much remove the entire front dash) Also, does anyone have any better wiring diagrams than haynes?

There is a second fuse box under the hood near the left fender. I would check those big fuses next.
