Default Failing battery of fuse issue, you be the judge!

Electricians, handy men, electrical engineers, fellow s owners! I am experiencing electrical symptoms which has me currently stumped as to what the issue is. I am not sure if the battery's going out or if it's a fuse/relay related issue. I have checked all of the mini fuses beneath the steering wheel assembly and all seem to be intact (visually). Next I am going to troubleshoot the battery to make sure there's still juice. I believe it's the original battery and I am at 69k miles. Is there anywhere/anything else I should check other than the battery?

Symptoms for what does NOT work:
- Keyless entry does not work
- Trunk does not open, but you can hear a clicking in the rear (weird)
- Gauge cluster does not work
- Horn is very very very very faint
- Hazard lights do not illuminate but has a buzzing sound when activated
- Headlights do not illuminate but also has a buzzing sound when activated
- Dome lights do not work

Symptoms for what is working:
- Chime works (when you put the key in and the door's open)

The accessory power relay is often a source of weird electrical symptoms.

I was gonna say I have the similar issue. I Changed the fuse one more time and was going to drive around the block and my friend notice the lights turn off as soon as I accelerated... You might as well get some batteries or relays' info from blmall.com. Good luck.

You can always have the battery tested to quickly determine if it is the cause. Depending on climate and conditions some have replaced the original prior to 69K.
