Rep Power: 0 Power windows/locks and stereo not working...
Hello, all you beautiful people on this forum.
So I'm about to take an 800+ mile trip in about 2 1/2 weeks, and I need my windows/locks/stereo to work. I know very little about electrical stuff, so I'm in serious need of help.
What works:
-Heater/AC/Rear defroster. The lights come on and everything, works great.
-Headlights/taillights
-Windshield wipers
-Sunroof
-Passenger side power mirror
Doesn't work:
-Power windows
-Driver side power mirror
-Stereo
-Power locks (No keyless entry, but has power locks on the inside).
If I try to use any of these, it doesn't make any noise or anything so I don't think that they're getting power at all. I checked the fuses and they all appear to be ok.
Any other info required, I'd be happy to start taking my car apart to find whatever you need to know to diagnose a problem. '97 EX coupe btw, if that makes any kind of difference.
PLEASE HELP. I love you.

Also on EX equipped with power door lock they use the radio as Powerdoor lock computer.
For power window and driver side the only thing I can see is that there a wire cut somewhere between the door and the car itself. This is a common probleme with many car. After lets say 5000 times the door is opened and close the wire ends cut. But from the description you gave it really look like a wire is cut somewhere or a one of the ground is bad.

Thanks, I'll look into the grounds and door wiring. Didn't realize the door lock was linked to the stereo, but it does make sense since all that stuff isn't working.
