Power Loss

I have a 2000 celica gt-s... Theres no power to the clock and the radio and when ever i turn on my car the needles go up and then come back down which that never happened before.. I checked the radio fuse and its fine.

Check all the fuses in the center console, including the large multi fuses. Also check to make sure the connectors on the back of the gauges are in properly.

sometimes you cannot tell a fuse is broken by just looking.....radio goes to panel 1 in the multi-fuse (first prong)....its inside the car, on the passenger side...theres two 7.5a multi-fuses...pull the one further back and check that......

try using a test light on the fuse.....we have a spare fuse in the engine bay, #42 slot if you look in the car manual

Yes, as stated above, check all of your multifuses. I know that one is responsible for the gauges functioning properly.

Where can i get a 7.5 a multi fuse and i was reading something last night about a spare one somewhere in your car?

OMG , I feel for you Lacfiremx02 I just got threw dealing with this exact problem. I was just driving down the road one day with everything working fine and then I get a phone call so I turn off the radio, and as soon as I touch the power button my radio clock and mirror adjusters all go out. I did the same thing you did and checked a couple of fuses but none of them were blown. So finally one weekend me and a buddy just ripped the whole dash out and cleaned up all of horrible wiring the former owner had underneath the dash. We found that there was a short coming from somewhere out of the radio and we kept blowing fuses trying to find it, but thats beside the point. We just ripped that bish out and rewired a couple of things that the former owner had ghetto rigged. But back to your problem I had one of those multi-fuses out and that was my main issue. So defiantly check those and even if you checked the radio fuse and everything like that it still could be something else like it was in my car. So good luck diagnosing this problem, and hope it is easier for you than it was for me.

But pretty much what BlueBomber said is exactly what was wrong with my car . I just needed to check my multifuse and also my gauges were connected improperly to. Pretty much all of the wiring inside of my car "was" horrible. I a just glad that I got that straighten out.

Check all the fuses in the center console, including the large multi fuses. Also check to make sure the connectors on the back of the gauges are in properly.

All the fuses are fine
