Default Car starts but electronics do not?

Hi,

I have been having issues with my 2000 ES 300. I can turn the ignition on just fine and the car starts, but for some reason the electronics on the dash, radio, blinkers, windshield wipers, etc. basically anything electronic inside the car does not power on and I'm not sure why? I also cannot put the car in gear after it starts either. I have checked all the fuses inside the car and under the hood and they all look fine and none are blown. So I'm assuming it may be a wiring issue? I just have no idea where to start to see if a wire has gone bad or connection has come undone. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Did you check your main fuse?
At which point do you lose power? Do you have voltage coming into the fuse box under the hood? To check that, remove a few fuses, like DOME for example and check the voltage on its leads, one of them should always be powered. If you don't have any, check your fusible link.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

What happens if you put your ignition on accessories without starting the car. Is there still no power?
