An odd problem, need some help.

Ok, my mom drives a 96 Dodge Grand Caravan. This morning when I got in it, the clock, radio, and that whole little control panel of buttons right there didn't work at all. My first guess is a fuse is blown, but then the blinkers and windshield wipers don't work either. And I'm pretty sure that all of that isn't on the same fuse. The power locks and headlights work fine. Everything was working great yesterday though. But here's the thing, when the car was turned off and then restarted, everything was back to normal. Anyone have any ideas? I'm clueless.

A loose connection where? Although water in it sounds about right, because 1 or 2 days before we had a huge thunderstorm...

If all those components are supplied with power from a common jucntion block, a loose connection could be at fault.

Take it to the dealer, you've got electrical problems. And a storm 2 days earlier should have affected it then, not now. Could be loose connections, but with that many problems, it could be a wiring harness problem. Either that or your battery isn't putting out enough voltage.

Does your car start up alright?

Hmm....get the wiring connections to your harness and each of the defective components checked then. I'd assume a bad connection or melted fuse.
