Please help!

This problem is kind of long but please bare with me. A few months ago I was replacing my trunk light and it sparked when I disconnected it. Long story short, my trunk light and all accessories in the car are on one fuse and when I replaced it a while back, everything was fine. However, earlier today I replaced another light in my trunk and nothing sparked or anything, but now, nothing in my car has power except ignition, lighting, and air conditioning. I replaced the fuse thinking it was that, but still nothing. Please get back to me as soon as you can. I have a 2004 Hyundai Sonata.

Might need a new ignition switch. the ignition controls most of the accessories. i had to replace mine once and had it done by a local shop, it wasnt to expensive. maybe like 100 bucks. if the fuses are all fine, make sure you check all of them, not just the one you replaced. check the interior fuses, and in the engine compartment fuses, but i would double check everything. good luck !

Have you checked the fuses under the hood, these are generally your main power distribution fuses and more often than not they are over looked in the process of trying to find a blown fuse. I would also recomend if you are not already doing this to use a DMM to test for blown fuses by measuring the voltage on each side not by a continuity test. I have seen fuses before that look fine and pass continuity but will not conduct higher amperage.

Thank you! I have checked the exterior fuses but not all of them so I will go look at that. And yeah I plan to do that tomorrow. I appreciate the help guys!
