Went to start car and lost all power to starter,radio,turn signals,heater etc.(the headlights,horn,door locks,interior lights still work). Replaced the battery and checked all connections. Checked the fuses under the hood, they were all good and getting power but about only half the fuses on the dash are getting power. The ones that are not getting power are ing mdl,wiper,heater,f inj,turn signal,erls,air bag,bcm,H vac,bcm clu,cruis,pcm and abs. I will be happy to make a donation if you can help me out this problem is driving me crazy. Thanks

Open the hood and behind the left headlight, find the underhood fuse box, inspect the fuses in this box, it sounds like the IGN(ignition) fuse blew.

Hi,

When you checked the fuse, did you confirm there is power to and from it? Also, is your vehicle the same year, make, and model? Is the battery fully charged? Do any other electronics work?

Let me know.
