Pretty much what is says 🙂 I went to go fuel up my '04 Toyota and when I turned the car back on, the radio and lighter (and the heat at first - it’s working now…) were dead. Anyone know what this could mean?  
  
  
  
 Thanks in advance!

First thing to check is fuses. The next item is the ignition switch may not have been in exactly the right position.

Thank you for your comments. Do you by chance know how to check the ignition switch? I don’t seem to have the manual and I can’t seem to find a diagram that isn’t in Greek 🙂
