Exclamation What happened?

I got on my gtp a while ago and turned the car on and i have no power going to my DIC, Radio or A/C!!! What would cause this? I think it might be a ignition switch harness but not sure. Anyone had this problem before

Don't know if I'm right yet or not. Just wanting to know if all the basics have been checked first. Got to remember to start with the simple stuff and work your way to the hardest.lol!!

Moved this to the right section.

I would first check all the fuses as suggested. It does sound like it could be an ignition switch issue, but check the fuses first. Does the A/C fan work on any speeds at all?

if you pull the cover off the column there is a black box, squeeze it if everything comes on you need the switch (or epoxy that like I did)

Then that should take you to the next thing, which it gets it's initial power from, like said before, ignition switch. Try what archemedessaid and let us know what you find.
