New to the forum, and my mechanic can't solve this problem. After jumping car it runs fine but after a minute the ABS light and Airbag light come on and radio goes off. Then very soon after that all electrical components fail, including all guages, A/C, signals. Engine runs fine but exterior lights dim very low. Also, when I try to start, all guages jump to max (speed, RPM, fuel, etc) then fall to 0. I've replaced a battery and alternator but problem continues.

double check both battery and alternator, its possible to get a bad one from the store. If one bat is bad the other will go very soon so you have to replace them together. Good luck electrical problems can make you loose all hope.

:ORG welcome: Lots of great info and people around here.

Interesting post. My 02 Ex just started having a problem with blowing fuses ( the one that runs the inst. cluster). The truck runs fine but I lose inst. cluster,radio and interior lights. I can get things to work if I insert a new fuse only after starting...BUT..... the fuse blows at shutdown or when I try to use the interior lights. I hope someone reads this and can give some direction into this matter.

Please Help:doh:
