Electical Trouble-shooting
Last evening, we had a pretty significant lightning storm.
So the next day, I use my car remote to unlock my car, didn't work. So I had to manually unlock my car with my key. I get in the car, and it started right up, but It wouldn't shift into gear. The dash lights was on, but the radio, power locks/windows, headlights, and all the electrical components would not work. So I called my local Ford dealership, and they said it was possible that my car was struck by lightning, and said to check the fuses. So I did, and they seemed fine. I knew it wasn't the battery knowing the car started right up. So I unhooked the battery for like an half hour, and took out all the fuses one by one, and tapped them a little.. I hooked the battery back up, get in the car, and everything was back to normal.
Now can you tell me what caused this, and do you think that I may've fixed the problem? I always heard when you unplug the battery, it resets everything. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.. Thank you..
