Dead Tc UPDATED

Last night I went to use my lighter and something blew out. No radio, no turnsignals, no wipers. All kind of dash warning lights came one. Got in this moring to take it up to the dealer, ( still under warrantee ) and it's dead. Had power, but car wouldn't start. Not even a click. I don't have any aftermarket equipment on it so should be interesting what the dealer finds. Will keep you all updated in case anyone else has had electrical problems. Just made it under the 36,000 mile full coverage. Have 35,465 on the OD.

Maybe..... You blew ALL of the fuses, under the hood and next to the pedals, and your car is having a heart attack and is going into safety?

Well it only turned out to be the 25amp ign. fuse. I oneof them large square ones in the engine bay fuse box. They still don't know why it blew, but seeing that the cig. lighter keeps blowing it's fuse there going to replace that whole unit also. Of course I have to wait until Wednesday until they get the part in, so yet another trip to the dealer. At least it happened before the full warranty was up so I have it documented if it happens again I can fall back on this as being an ongoing problem. I always through them larger square fuses were relays, but they called it a fuse.
Keeping fingers crossed.
