Weird Electrical Issues

Hi all, I have a 2006 F250 6.0L Crew Cab 4x4 that started acting up. It started two days ago when I noticed my windshield wipers were only working at one speed. Then today my wife took the truck to work and she said the radio stopped working on her way to work. Then she gets in this afternoon and the ABS light is on, the A/C isn't working, the windows are super slow and the interior lights are flickering. She isn't home yet so I haven't checked the fuse block. Where would you start looking?

Thanks!

Based on replies on this board to similar gremlins, it might be a simple ground wire issue - loose, dirty, broken. Just a guess.
