Yesterday leaving work when I started my car none of my gauges work, the airbag light is on, my radio stopped working, and my steering wheel is tight and will not turn. My dad checked my fuses and replaced my ignition switch, but the problem is still there. He thinks it has lost power somewhere but is not sure where. I am trying to figure out the problem I need help.

Hello,

The key is multiple systems down. This is a power feed problem which is supplied by the 30 amp IGN fuse. I would check for power on both sides.

Here is a guide and the wiring and fuse diagrams so you can do some easy testing:

Below are the wiring and fuse diagrams so you can see what I am talking about.

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
