Q: My radio,interior lights and buzzer when I open my door with keys in ignition don't turn on in my Mazda MPV. What can cause this?
The interior lights,radio and even the dinging sound when I leave my keys in the ignition no longer work. Even the dash light isn't working. I have power doors on my MPV and they don't work anymore either. I can manually open them but there isn't any power going to them. What can cause all of this and how do I fix it? Thank you so much for any advice in advance!!
