So back in November my catalytic converter was stolen from my 2010 Prius right in my driveway in a well lit neighborhood (that's another story) Anyway, the car sat in the shop for 2 months while a backordered replacement could get in. By the time I got it back the 12V was completely dead. I was able to salvage it and it holds charge now just fine. However a few items no longer work. Most notably, 2 out of the 4 power windows on the master controller no longer work. The individual ones by each door work but half of the driver's controls don't. Do I just need to replace the unit or could there be something else? Also, most importantly my audio doesn't work at all. I have one of the JBL systems with an amplifier. I'm guessing the problem is that it just won't turn on. How can I diagnose it without just ordering a replacement to see if that's the problem. I don't want to put any more $$ than I already have .
The amp fuse looked fine. I'll check the power window one here in a few but it wouldn't make sense for half of them to work if a fuse was blown
i know, it is very odd. maybe rats chewed on some wiring. can you take the amp out of the circuit and see what happens? i just can't think of a relationship between the audio and the windows
I replaced the amp but it's still not working. I checked and I'm getting 12v power to the amp so I really have no idea what the problem could be.
Weirdly enough one of the switches started working again. However still 1 out of the 4 still doesn't work. I'm at a loss. Seems like an electrical problem that's way over my ability.
