Q: 06 Malibu- The remote as well as the dome, trunk & above rear view mirror push lights ALL stopped working today- PLEASE HELP!

asked by on August 22, 2017

verbatim - the dome, 2 above rear view mirror push on/off's and trunk light wont come on, whether i open a door, or turn them on manually (or try to at least.) In checking the fuses for some possible explanation I noticed my entry remote isn't working either!!! my radio and electric seat work fine, lights outside are fine, and everything else I can think of. I've noticed some odd deceleration lately and the battery has left me hearing nothing but clicks when I'm trying to leave for work at least three times in the past two months but after a quick jump all had. even well. Had autozone test the batter which would test good, needs charge, failed to test completely or optimal performance with no rhyme or reason each time it was tested, so they had no idea what it was. I just lost my job of 6 years after a min curable disease started to take its toll on me and I have to figure out how I can pay for whatever is wrong because I have to have my car - it's all I have left, I mean literally.

My car has 92000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
