Couple of things to check...open the drivers side door and look at the side of the dash...you'll see a panel cover for the fuses with a spot you can slip your finger in...pull it out...check on the panel there is a fuse diagram...look for the items that aren't working and their associated fuse (if you have the owners manual look for the section on fuses and it will ahve the diagram as well if its not on the panel) pull those fuses and check to see if the element inside is still connected...if you have a multimeter you can do a continuity check across the the elements to see if they are good...replace with good ones if they are blown. Also check under the hood for a black box near the battery...should say fuse panel or something to that effect...it should have a screw holding the top on...unscrew it and check on the inside for the fuse diagram as well...do the same for it checking fuses associated with the problem components...hopefully that will correct your problem...if not post results and we'll go from there
