Have you checked all of your fuses and relays?

Check for burned contacts in e power distribution center. Take a look in the service man and trace your circuits with a test light or logic probe (I recommend a logic probe). You can download the manual in the FAQ.

DON'T disconnect the battery to test an alternator if it has a computer; the spike created fould fry a computer; that said any time you haver reason to disconnect battery aways do neg first (or "only") with neg connected if pos only (or first) is undone you will almost always get a spark which is itself a "spike" that can screw somethin up
