I searched the forum for someone with same problem, but came up with nothing that seemed to discuss my problem.
I have a 2000 Rodeo 6 cylinder auto and air.
Today I was 275 miles from home and i cut off my rodeo. When i restarted it, i didn't notice anything. But as i pulled out of the parking lot headed home, i noticed that some accessories worked and others didn't.
Worked: headlights, fuel gauge, speedometer, tach, radio, wipers, cruise. interior lights, door lock.
DID NOT WORK: blinkers, electric windows, air conditioner, air conditioner blower, rear wiper, flashers.
Let me preface this by saying earlier in the week all window switches would operate the window they work on. But the Drivers master switch would not roll down the passenger front window but would roll it up, and it would roll down the driver rear window but would not roll it up. But the switch at each door would roll it up and down. Now nothing works anywhere.
When i noticed the accessories that would not work, i found a parts store and raised my hood. All the corresponding fuses in the panel by the driver door were good.
The a/c 10 amp fuse under the hood was burned out. I replaced and it has not burned out again, but the a/c still does not work. The flasher fuse was burned out and when replaced, it burned out again, signifying some short with flashers, which could affect blinkers, i suppose, but the blinkers flash when the key fob is used to unlock the doors. There is a (big black)relay in the top right corner of the inside drivers panel that is shown to be power windows and a 30 amp fuse with what looks like a resettable fuse link in the lower left corner of the box. I had the resettable fuse link tested and they said it was showing 2-3. They may be bad but all the parts stores here are closed.
I don't know why the a/c does not work. I swapped out the ac relays under the hood but nothing changes, it still did not work. It too was working fine when i turned off the car.
275 miles is a long way home, in the Georgia heat with no a/c, no windows rolled down and only the rear glass open for any time of cooling.
any help would be appreciated. Sorry post is so long, but tried to put out as much info at start to speed up process. Thanks for any help.
