Default I have a few questions

For some reason, my cigarette lighter and extra outlet always go out. I have changed the fuse several times. I assume that I have a bad ground somewhere?

Also, my windows and radio will all of a sudden shut off. I will not be able to bring my windows up or down and the radio will not work. Eventually it comes back. I notice that is is worse when it is hot out.

Please help. I have a 2000SS Camaro.

Thanks.

Sounds like you have a ground issue or a short somewhere......I had a 96 Tahoe that kept blowing the fuse for the interior lights, I tried several things people on the net told me to check. In the end I took it to a dealership and they found a short in a wire in the headliner. Good luck.......

Start taking that dash apart, there is a loose or broken ground.

If the lighter and outlet keep blowing the fuse than you have a short on the power wire circuit somewhere.
