So i went to the gas station yesterday...and after filling up a lot of my electronics stopped working. My power windows dont work, my windshield wipers, my headlights, my indicator lights in the instrument cluster, and my entire sound system.

Anyone have a clue as to what it might be? Please help

When you were inspecting your fuse box, did you mismatch and/or leave any fuse out. That's exactly what happened to me before and cause almost all electrical to go out. I believe I only swapped 2 fuses and it did this. I had to recheck every single fuse just to make sure it's in the right fuse console. Double check each and everyone of the fuse.

i have seen this issue before. do u have aftermarket accessories in your car installed. maybe cd changer aftermarket. if so u may be bringing down the can bus causing issues. i would first try to disconnect negative battery terminal for 15 minutes. if that doesnt work disconnect both battery terminals and usind a piece of wire touch both terminals(after disconnecting). NOT the battery the terminals meaning the wire. this is a power reset of all control units. if you have aftermarket accessory try to disconnect and check.

^ try resetting your car like he said and give us an update

Check the voltage reading with the engine running and voltage when you turn on the ac. Your regulator or alternator or both may be going bad. Also check the condition of the battery voltage without the car running.

Where you able to get the car restarted or did you have it towed?

 

[tonkpils80]

the car was able to be restarted.
i rechecked the fuses too.
i'll try reseting the battery and i'll tell you guys how it goes

+1 Reboot car and disconnect any accessories you have plugged in
