Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Electrical question

Yesterday my wife was putting our daughters wheelchair in the back of our car, and knocked the interior trunk light completely off. Now the raidio does not work the clock does not work, and there is a clicking noise coming from the emergency brake. Any ideas what it could be? I have not checked the fuse yet as I have not had time, but any ideas where to start would be great.

that would be my first guess, check the fuses and relays (owners manual will tell you).
A "clicking" normally comes from a relay.
You may have shorted the fuse or relay by contact with a metal wheelchair part...

Yep, I'd say it's a fuse. It might have taken out a relay or be shorting some wires to/from a relay, but after checking it out, I'm sure you'll be able to see if there is anything damaged.

You haven't identified your car's year or model, but on most it would be f34 on the interior fuse panel that would be the culprit. Clicking would be brake on solenoid (inhibits gearshift moving from park unless foot on brake). There is a mechanical over-ride on this accessible through hole in console.
