I got in my car this morning and I realized that my airbag light was on, my tail lights and reverse lights did not work and my HVAC controls did not work and my turn signals/hazard lights did not work. Also my window controls do not work. I checked fuses and they all seem fine. Has anyone ever had this problem and how can I solve it?
Thanks.

you check the big fuses in the engine bay?
do you have any electronics in the car?

I looked at all the big fuses and little ones relating to my problem and they seem fine. I'm worried it might be a relay gone bad. As far as electronics goes all I have is fog lights, some gauges and an AEM fuel ignition controller. I doubt any one of these would affect whats happening.

did it ran last night, pop the hood and see if a rat made a nest in the engine bay.

The car stays in a garage so no rats. All my wiring looks good too. Its possible the ac control relay maybe the problem. What sucks is if it is the relay is $65 before tax.

Problem sovled, 10amp guage fuse under the dash made all that trouble. Ironic, given the label I figured it would only take out the cluster. Instead it took out everything not related to the cluster. Also I know now how this was caused. My aftermarket fog lights fuse housing somehow ended up having an exposed wire which touched metal in the engine bay. Normally in this situation the fuse to the fog lights would blow. Instead It blew up with enough heat to melt and fuse itself back together allowing the fuse to now hold more amperage and now carrying the current to the next weakest link in the circuit which was one of my fog light bulbs and and also the fuse the made all the trouble with other accessories. I sure learned a lot from this mess.
