hello, new to the forum.
I have a 2005 Corolla CE. The air-conditioner stopped working about 6 weeks ago, so I stopped driving it. About 2 weeks ago I tried to start it and it was completely dead. No door chime, no dome lights, no lights on the dash when I turned the key, no life at all. I charged the battery to 12.8v and still the same. I took the battery to the parts house and it checked out good. So I started digging.
The clamps to the battery were cleaned and tightened. I checked all the fuses in the engine compartment and under the dash left of the steering wheel. I found 2 blown fuses, and replaced them.
Now when I insert the key I get the chime, and when I turn the key I get dash lights, and the engine will turn over, but not catch. If I put starter fluid in the airbox, it will run for a second or two. (yes, it has gas in the tank). I think I can hear the fuel pump running, but I haven't taken a line loose to see if it is pumping.
The things that don't come on are, the headlights, the radio, the turn signals, the electric door locks, the dome light. Also, the shifter is stuck in park.
When I get a day off, I am going to run down all the grounds in the engine compartment to make sure they have good contact.
Any suggestions???
