Hi Teresa and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

This is a tough one because the items you listed are on different circuits. Did this happen all at once?

The first thing I want you to check is fuse 18 in the interior under dash fuse panel. It provides power to the windows and radio. I attached a section of the wiring schematic so you can see how it ties in with the two things I mentioned. Although a fuse can look good, it can actually be bad. Here are a couple links that discuss checking the fuse, checking for power to the circuit, how to use a test light, checking wiring.

Lets start there. As far as the tail light, do any of them work? For example, the brake lights and turn signals work but not the parking lights.

Let me know.

Take care,
Joe
