Check your fuses?

That is a fuse...I had the EXACT problem a few weeks ago ...Check them all though because I forget exactly which fuse I replaced but it had NOTHING to do with any ob the above mentioned items. You can fix this problem for less than a dollar and 5 minutes of your time

Do you mean you lost power to the items mentioned, all of the sudden, after starting the car, and the fault still remains? Alternatively, does everything remain normal and OK until you start the engine?

pop the hood, open the fuse box, check the one labeled clock. I bet it is blown
now, WHY it blew is gonna be the fun thing to figure out

It should be one of the fuses in the "under the dash" fuse box...I think it was my power door lock or power window fuse that blew when I lost power to my cig lighter and clock and climate control. Thats the funny thing about fuses...when you blow one it will effect everything accept the one thing the fuse was meant for lol! I will look at my box tomorrow and tell you exactly which fuse mine blew when I had that problem and maybe its the same one for you.

O.k same thing happend to me. Basically tried the fuse thing and it blew like 3 of them so I took the clock fuse out and put a new fuse in the blown Cigar/Mirror fuse and it work again. But then after letting it run for a bit I put the clock fuse back in and every thing works fine now.
