Q: Hi, my air conditioner, speedometer, dash board lights, blinker lights (emergency ones are okay) and power windows are not working

asked by on March 30, 2017

Hi, my air conditioner, speedometer, dash board lights, blinker lights (emergency ones are okay) and power windows are not working. I have a 2005 toyota corolla LE. This happened all at once as i pulled into my driveway, my car did not turn off. My radio turned off when this happened and restarted but nothing else works now. It is still drivable with no transmission issues. We have replaced some of the smaller fuses but not the larger ones.

My car has 131000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Every morning or when I use my truck i put it on drive I press on the gas and the engine will rev up but the truck goes very slow

Frank, Id like to install cruise control into a chevy express 1500 AWD that currently does not have it. Is that possible? 2012 Chevrolet Express 1500
Hi there - yes, that would be possible, although the cost effectiveness of adding this feature to your current vehicle may not make sense. Adding cruise control could be done by either finding another Express van in a recycling yard,...
