I have a 98 gt, power windows, locks, and dome light not working, instrument cluster works. The car will not even attempt to turn over anymore. It just clicks. Starter is good and so is the battery. WTF?

o yeah the head lights, horn, and hazards work.

does it even crank??? if not than i would check fuses,
does the starter wire from the battery have juice??
did the windows and locks stop working at the same time the car stopped cranking.

possibly be lack of cranking amps from the battery. does it start with a jump at all...

i need some more info to help you out, but there are others on here that probably know what it is... but it could be something stupid! kind of sounds like a battery problem to me...

let me know if you figure it out! good luck

Make sure your ground is tight and clean and connected right, I had this same problem and put a new terminal end on and bam, it works.
