Stuck on another electricity problem

So here's my question, my 93 suddenly has no power to the power windows, windshield wipers, or stereo. So what do those three things have in common? I've been doing some research but haven't really come up with anything. Is there a fuse? I checked the in cab fuses but maby there's something I'm missing in the power distribution box? Any advice would be appreciated

Just a thought... Have you checked the fusible links and the starter relay yet? Just give them a little tug, if it stretches it's bad if not it should be OK..

You didn't mention it, but you did check the fuses under the hood didn't you?

Look at fuse P in the power distribution box. That supplies power to the ignition switch, then on a BK/LG wire from the ignition switch to the cab fuse block, fuses 2, 6, 11 and 14.

Check fuses with a continuity tester. Often times fuses can look good and still be bad...

If there is power at fuse P, but not at fuses 2, 6, 11, and 14 in the cab fuse panel, then I'd look at the ignition switch & that BK/LG wire between the ignition switch & fuse panel...
