Dashboard light and elevators controls

Chevrolet Cavalier 2002  170000 miles
The lights of the dashboard, the radio and the controls of all of the window elevators are not working. I've already changed the cluster instrument panel but the problem remains. Any ideas what can be happening?

There are three fuses you need to change. You should check the one that has metal covering, the one that raises the windows.

Wont turn over or start

Chevrolet Cavalier 2002 2.2l coupe 190000 miles
My 02 cavalier died when my roommate was driving. It wasnt getting fuel and no sound from fuelpump. It would turn over not start. I replaced pump checked all fuses and relays all good. Then you would hear pump engage with key on still no start but now there is fuel pressure i have fire but seems fuel not getting to injectors. I could spray parts cleaner and car would run till burn off. Thats first problem.
Ok second problem i opened my door to roll up windows car alarm went crazy now it wont turn over nothing. Light is flashing and there is a clicking under dash that clicks then stops bout 30 sec clicks again. Please help. The guys 2 of them are lost. Im a female i know alot but this no...please n thanks

Try disconnecting the ground from the battery overnight. Sounds like a anti theft system issue

Trunk opening

Chevrolet Cavalier 1997  300000 miles
I have just bought a Cavalier 1997 and seen it's got a solenoid to open the trunk, but I still cannot find the switch or button to do so. Does anyone know where it is?

It does not have a switch; the solenoid is activated with the alarm's control. If you desire, it is posible to adapt a switch to your vehicle; I also have a Cavalier and I did so.

Radio wont turn on

Chevrolet Cavalier 2000 2.2 207000 miles
Radio was working fine one day then the next it wouldn't power on after I started the car.
At first I thought it was just a bad stock radio considering the car is 18 years old.
Not the case... A few days later the radio magically started working again, thought to myself cool... Low and behold I turn the car off and as soon as I grab the door handle and begin to open the door the radio shuts off and won't come back on again...

I was told it had something to do with the door switch that also controls the dome lights but I replaced that as well as installing a new radio and still nothing...

Flickering lights and stalling

Chevrolet Cavalier 2002 Chevy Cavalier 4-door 110000 miles
Lights flicker, sometimes the dome light works when the driver door is opened sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes thre is a chime when the headlights are left on, sometimes there isn't. All of this leads me to believe there may be a short? Today the car wouldn't start, then all of a sudden it did start only to stall out a few miles down the road. Prior to stalling all the lights and gages surged. It did start again, got it home. Took off the negative battery cable with it running to check the alternator stayed running. I took the battery out so I can get it checked. Any other ideas?
