IDK what I did but I have seriously screwed something up in my '06 xB. A couple of years ago I installed a cheap eBay DVD/Nav head unit. I used a Metra harness adaptor and everything was working fine. The unit finally died so I was in the process of replacing it with another one that had slightly different wiring. When I finished installing the replacement I must have shorted something out. I noticed the following problems: power windows, instrument panel, shift lock, turn signals, HVAC are dead. The car starts and runs fine but the battery does not seem to be charging as well. I tried replacing the ECU but that did not help. I've also checked the fuses but they all seem fine. This is my daily driver and any help or suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,

I believe the xB has a secondary fuse box in the engine compartment. See is one of the other fuses or relays is hosed.

Let us know how it goes.

The problem was in the fuse box under the dash. After taking the dash apart and replacing the fuse box everything went back to normal. I can't explain what happened in the original box. There were no blown fuses or bad relays. I even opened it up and could not find any visible problems. Believe it or not, it was my mail man that suggested the problem was in the inside fuse box... and he was right!
