'96 Cabrio Weird Problem - 4/21/2008 8:47:32 AM

Over the weekend I changed my fuel filter, a day later when I went to get in my car and go the door ajar chime was stuck on and the ciggarette lighter wouldn't work. After spending a few minutes trying to figure out if there were wires loose and what not I removed the ciggarette lighter and the door chime went off. To me this sounds like whoever owned the car previously somehow re-wired the door chime to the lighter. I have had this car for three weks and used the lighter multiple times and used it as an outlet for my cell charger now it won't work for anything but to make the door chime stay on. Any suggestions? Also, my power locks just went out in it and I need a new map light, If anybody could direct me to these two things I would appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!

Did you check fuses?

ok, so my power windows have now gone out. When I was checking the fuses for the windows I fixed the original problem of the door chime and everything but now I still can't get the windows to go up. The doors will only lock from the inside as well. Does anybody have a suggestion for this new problem?
