Hi, Anyone got answers for this one? Car was working fine and then the next night the cars electronic system was not working. The dome light doesn't turn on, no brake light, no dash light, no turn signal, no flip up lights, yet the lights in the flip up turn on, just there is no power to put the flip ups..up! Checked the fuses in the box next to the drivers left foot. Not sure what could be wrong? I think something is grounding out because the clock will light up, but there will be no time in it? Any ideas?! just in case anyone is needing to know, it is a ka24e auto. car still starts up fine though.

Thanks peeps!!

check your fuse links under the hood near the battery

Electronic problems are hard, because there's so many variables. NISTECH had a good recommendation. If the fuses are still working, it's likely a ground if it's not the fuse links under the hood.

Thanks guys. Here's a new piece of info I just found out. You see I just bought the car off someone else and was going to swap the engine. Found out that the guy before me had the battery terminals switched. In other words, positive was connected to negative, and visa versa. Does anyone know what would need to be replaced, checked, fixed in order to remedy this problem? Thank you so much peeps.
