Yesterday morning my car worked just fine.  Then when I went to leave
work that evening, it seemed like half the car wasn't working!!

The car still runs just fine, but here's what I have noticed so far
that is NOT working...
speedometer
odometer
gas gauge
gear indicator
RPM indicator
power door locks
AC
cruise control

What would make all of these things quit working all at once???

These things DO work:
power windows
horn
radio
headlights
blinkers
breaklights

And the air bag light stays on...

We have checked the small fuses in the panel on the driver side, but
they all look fine.  A coworker of mine also checked some of the fuses
in the engine and he said he couldn't find one that was bad.

Anyone ever seen this before??
Thanks for any help! I need my car!! Right now it's the only car I
have, and I have to take my 6 month old daughter to daycare and she
does not like that the AC isn't working! haha (thank god I can still
roll down the windows!)

While I don't have a chance to research very well at the moment, I'd check
the fuses out under the hood...  There is a block box on the drivers side
fender-well that houses a number of larger fuses that control multiple items
in the car.  I'd start there... I'll try to research further, but hopefully
that will be the culprit...

Well it turns out that all of the fuses were fine.  Had to have the
computer replaced! Everything works fine now tho.  Thanks for the help!

Guess it depends on how you look at it.  The price doesn't sound bad based
upon what I've heard others say, but then again, a price like that for a
vehicle at that age isn't exactly good either...

:-)
