Need Help! Electrical Problem
I have a 2003. While I was going to get dinner i noticed my fuel, temp and oil gauges were all not working. Then i noticed my fog lamps, power locks, keyless entry were also not working. Then after i turned my car off the radio display, the ignition light and the inside door(power windows, power locks, trip re-set, etc.)lights would not go off. Even after opening my door locking the doors they would just stay on. I obviously have no idea whats wrong since im on here asking for some help. I disconnected the battery so it would not die. Please any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thank You.

That is indeed a mystery... just out of curiosity... how old is the battery, have you done any work to the car lately that could result in a grounding problem, or loose cables anywhere, or anything that might lead to this...

With everything you've mentioned, you might want to take the car and get a Tech 2 scan done. This will narrow down what might be the cause. Otherwise...you'll be taring the car apart looking for a ground problem, module problem, data bus problem or?

You may want to try these tests. With everything going nuts it could be as simple as a bad battery cable.

As far as i know the battery is probably as old as the car so 6 yrs old. No i have not done any work on the car lately that would have caused a grounding problem or anything else..By the way thank you everyone for the help.
