after goin wheelin for the last time this year (durin actually) my wipers, directionals, heat, radio and cig lighter all stopped workin. today i checked ever fuse, took apart my steering column all the way just past the directional unit and still i cant figure out wtf is wrong, i tore apart the whole dash (top and bottom) and check connections and still i cant figure out whats wrong. i think its my god dam steerin colum. its never been right since i got it. does anyone know where i could get that fixed cheap... i really cant afford it but im seeing if i can borrow money from a family member. its gettin friggin cold and i hear its gonna rain again....im just tryin to get the dam thing in a running state again  |

the motor and thats about it. headlights, hazards and highbeams work regardless if ignition is on or off.

It definatly sounds like the connection is lost somewhere in your steering colum because everyhting you mentioned will only work when the key is turned on.
Take a multimeter and see if they are getting power really close the colum, maybe one of the quick connects just came disconnected. If not, see where you are getting power in the columns wiring and let me know.
I actually just had this same problem, but slightly different and it was just that a quick connect was 1/2 off and I didn't notice it.

It's about an extra $15 and the only place I've ever seen it is on eBay, but it's worth taking a look. |
