I have been reading multiple threads that have been posted up in regarding this problem. I got in my car in the middle of the night to go to the gas station tried turning the lights on and got nothing. When I pulled back on the high beams they turned on but forward got nothing. Have no turning signals but I have my hazard signals. One thing that is setting my problem off compared to the others I have read is that my horn and wind shield wiper blades don't work. All fuses are good but another reason I think my problem is different is that when I turn the lights on the interior lights light up as well. Any help would be nice. The car can't be ran because of this because I work at night so the stearing wheel is coming off tonight.

PM'd back. Without being able to test anything, this sounds like a bad ignition switch - click here for replacement ignition switches.

Pete@ECSTuning

The problem has been fixed with the new ignition switch. Another way that you maybe able to detect that your ignition switch is going bad before you lose your lights and such is that you will slowly lose your cruise control. I live in PA and there is a huge range of temperatures and in years past the cruise control would only work if it was really warm outside and sometimes at that point it would turn on but after ten miles it would shut off. Now it kicks on and runs like it should.

My reasoning why it would only work in warm temperatures is that the connectors or whatever was expanding allowing the connection for the cruise control to turn on.

I will give a detailed write up later this week when I get some time.

Nice follow up, I'm glad you'd got it sorted!

Ya now I lost my horn and the crusie control only wants to work when I go up hill? The horn could just be bad but I still haven't fixec the damn cruise control. The garage said the module is bad but it doesn't make sense if it works periodically.
