This is my best guess of the facts related.
Three days ago I left the lights on and the battery died. Being on a hill, I popped the clutch to start the car. However the next time to start, I had to pop the clutch to start. It would then start fine afterward as I drove farther to charge the battery.
The next day when I went to start the car when putting the key in the ignition and turning the key nothing electrical came on the dash and there was no response to the car. I thought that potentially buy fluke and chance that the ignition lock cylinder had finally broken because before this point the key would fit Loosely into the ignition. However, as I just had an opportunity to go out now, during the day, 2 start the car I noticed that when opening the door the in-cab light does not work whether manually turning it on, or trying to open and close the door. The flashers, radio, or turn signals do not work. The only thing I can get to work on the car is when I turn the knob the headlights come on.
I don't know where to start to investigate this. Begin with the fuses understandable. Check the battery terminal connections- they're great. I looked under the hood to see if something was unplugged but I do not see anything. And if in the event that the ignition was not reading that the key was in since the tumblers are not really tight holding to the key I sprayed a bit of lock cylinder lubricant into the lock cylinder ignition. It works better than what it did.
Please help if you have any idea.
