Won't start car won't start. headlights work and hazard lights work. no dashboard lights or radio. Car won't turn over. the car sat for awhile so I replaced the battery and now have half power. tried hitting starter with hammer but no good. altenater is new. the car is a 99 sunfire GT manual trans.
I would try the battery, it sounds like it has enough juice to power the lights, but not everything else. You can take the battery to a local parts store and they can test it at no charge.

The door switch is located inside of the door latch. You probably have a bad switch and need to have the latch changed. Since the drivers door gets the most use, that is a good place to start.
All the thing's your having problems with are computer controlled .The main light switch is a low voltage device , controlled by the instrument cluster . The instrument cluster is connected to the vehicle control moduel system via the SCP - standard corporate protocol , messages are put out on the data network to other modules to control lighting ! The (REM) rear electronic module an the (FEM) front electronic module . 010 Ford SCP Communications
You could look for a loose connection (ground ) But your best bet take it to a qualified repair shop (ford )
did you manage to fix this problem as i'm having the same problems. the car had a flat battery so tried jump starting it but no luck, replaced battery but can only get headlights/windscreen wipers/passenger window and hazards to work. car won't start and alot of the interior controls are dead, i've checked fuses (replaced 2)
The switch that you are talking about... the dimmer switch, must not be working. If you have warranty left, i suggest you take it in. If not, maybe find a good auto wrecker, and replace the switch yourself. I'm guessing they'll be expensive.
