I’ve not had this issue with my 350s before.

Exterior ambient lighting doesn’t come on when I approach the car. Key fob doesn’t unlock the doors. Used key to open door. No interior lights come on. Engine starts and runs with no trouble. Analog clock is dead. Can turn on interior lights with engine running. Any ideas??

TIA!

 

I suspect one of the fuses.

 

I agree it's a fuse/s issue. Had any work done recently, like battery change?

 

Thanks. I realized it's probably the fuse for the always available powered equipment as I continued my trip.. My owners manual shows basic fuse info, is there a diagram on the use box cover to identify the fuse to be replaced (not in my car right now)

Thanks again

 

Here are the two fuse box lids with the fuse list. The fuse names might give you an idea of what is on the circuit.

Engine Compartment Fuse Box


Interior Fuse Box under drivers' side dash.

 

If it’s the fuse you still have to figure out why. Good luck!

 

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, aside from the obvious names on some of the fuses, I didn't see one addressing my 350's issue. Taking it in on Friday to have it looked at. One place suggested I simply pull every fuse from both fuse boxes to see what's blown. Don't have time for that one. My dealer service suggested it could be multiple fuses of some other part of the electrical system. Especially since some of the functions that are supposed to work with engine on or off work fine when the engine is on.

Thanks again.

 

You don’t need to pull fuses to see if they’re bad. Use a multimeter, set to volts. Find somewhere to ground the black lead of the meter. Then use the red probe to touch one and then the other of the tiny metal dots exposed on each fuse. If the fuse is good, each side will read 12 volts nominal. If the fuse is blown, one side will read 12 volts but the other won’t.
