Power Locks, Interior Lights etc....
I'm losing it, now my power locks and interior lights don't work intermittantly. My key fob still arms and disarms the factory alarm and opens the trunk but the locks and interior lights don't work. I'm thinking a loose or corroded connection somewhere but where do I start looking???? The 'bonger' does not work either when starting the car or leaving the headlights on. I take it all of these things are connected. Is there some sort of a module somewhere that controls all of the above??

Take a good look at those, especially if you use your cigar lighters for anything, since a short caused by a bad lighter will take out your interior lights (and power locks, too, I _think_, although I haven't got the manual handy right now).

There are no bad fuses, like I said this is an intermittant problem, sometimes it all works, sometimes it doesn't. What I'd like to know is how to figure out what is going on. I have checked each and every fuse and they are fine with no corrosion on them whatsoever. For two days now my locks and lights and chime have not worked. This morning on the way into work, the Fasten Seat Belts light came on along with the chime and now everything works. This is one of those problems that can make a guy CRAZY!!!!

If it'* dead, work your way back to the relevant fuse in the fusebox, pull it, and see if one of the two retainer clips is hot. If not, your power problem is even further up the line, such as at the bulkhead connector where the wiring harnesses go through the firewall.
