my 1996 sc300 is having issue with the ac, defroster, and middle console lights going out my radio is fine its my ac controls and heater controls and defroster dont come on the backlight is working but the black light if thats what you call its not working and i cant change or turn on or off anything and its just blank. is it a fuse thats blown or need to be replaced. help please i live in cali and its so freaking hot need me ac controls back on and running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

check the cigarette lighter fuse. I would also pull those out and check for any exposed wires.

Did you just buy the car???? Any previous information that would help us in trying to find out the solution?

 

yea i bought the car about a month ago first thing i did was maintance included timing belt, water, radiator flush, new battery. i checked if the wires in my fender were exposed but those are all good. by car recently started doing this thing where when i crank it up it doesnt turn over until he second or third time i start it up, and now slowly everything is going to **** need help

 

Its probably a fuse for the ac controls. As for the cranking, im having the same issue. I will update you when i do find out what the issue is. Ive replaced a few things that didnt work.

 

Where's the fuse for ac and yea keep me posted on the starter please
