Q: Multitude of issues with car
I have many issues with my car, and while my dad thinks it has to do with a fuse, I am not sure. First off, the horn does not blow. Second, the cruise control will not engage. Third, the lever that normally opens the trunk does not engage. Fourth, the AC does not work and only blows hot air. Fifth, my key does not start the car. I put the key in the ignition and a key symbol lights up on the dashboard. All of the electronics in the car come on, but the car does not start.
