Electrical Tech / Half of the dash not working along with radio and power door locks
I'm new to the forum and picking up a 20th Anniversary Cougar this Sunday. The current owner says that half of the dash is not working along with radio and power door locks. He claims that he pushed the door lock button and all this stuff went kaputs. I've done some searching on here and have two main things to attribute this loss of power to 1. ignition switch and 2. wire shorting out somewhere.
Is there anything else I need to be aware of? It is a clean car, but I'm not up for a science project. Where would you guys and gals start if this problem was in your court.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
