lights, automatic locks & clock electrical problems

Check the fuses. All the items you describe are available with the car on or off, so I'd bet the Dome light fuse is snapped...

it was totally the fuse! i feel like such a dumb butt!!!

now everything turns on just fine! thanks a million!

maybe you can help me with something else... the right side door lock doesn?t open with a key. the key doesn?t turn. is there something i can do?

thanks!

If the key is worn have a new key cut by key-code, either at the dealer or a lock shop. If key is good spray some penetrating oil and/or lock lube in key-hole. I've had the best luck with a lock penetrant/lube from Ford dealer. Comes in aerosol can and appx $5. HTH, davidj92
