Ok so I started my car and for some reason my windows wouldnt roll down and my ac (fan as well) wouldnt turn on. I drove and all of a suddan they kicked in.

Prior to getting it working again I checked the fuse and just found a big block fuse with no way to check it. I was going to read up on this anyways finding no big deal windows working again. Then after work i got to drive home in 90 degree heat with no ac and no windows again this time it didnt work when i drove. I also noticed while driving my gauges arnt working.

Can this be a simple fuse issue or is this too wide spread of an issue to be one fuse? help!

Happens all the time in the daily, its my ignition switch there. It doesn't fully come out of "start" But it could also may be a loose harness or connector. Poke around a bit. Check the FSM - EL section for a common point where the windows, cabin fan and cluster get power and go there. (Thinking ignition switch)

update for the morning shift

my fuel and temp gauges are working just not my RPMs and MPH gauges. A sep volt gauge I have seems to be pretty low and I started loosing my radio. So either my new alternator from 2 months ago is failing or im in for a whole other bag of crap. Any additional insight on the possible problem is always welcome.

The alt would cut the one thing on the gauges, but not the other. Its def a elec problem. Like out to win said...his ignition sticks in start. Next tim, try to mess with the key, and see if it helps.
