Hello everyone I have a 92 sc300 5spd. I have had the car in a state of storage/moving it around for the past 6 months while I was working on it and getting it ready for the road. Everything in the car always worked until recently when I moved it into the garage to swap out the clutch.

The dome light/steering column/door locks/and the key chime when you insert the key into the lock suddenly none work. I've looked all over searching for a loose connection, and have been unable to find anything that could cause this. I checked all the block fuses under the hood and nothing was blown. Am I missing something here? I have no idea why everything would suddenly puke out unless a fuse blew somewhere, or a connection is bad. Any ideas where to start the search? Anyone run into this before?

If battery terminals have corrosion or a battery is bad, I have had cars do this when I tried to crank a car. Something about the sudden current draw while terminals are dirty causes it. If your sc300 is drawing more current when the key is inserted, it could be your problem. Also since your car has been sitting so long you could have a bad battery now.

Just put a brand new battery in it. I think it's got to be a bad ground or connection somewhere. Hrmm
