Windows and stereo and Wipers not working suddenly

2005 Ranger 3.0 Edge

I did a half *** wiring job for my aftermarket stereo because its not permanent and for past couple months sometimes a wire would become loose and id have to re connect it, and this time i did re connected my radio was on for a second and turned off now my power windows wont go down and my windshield wipers and fluid does not work either, everything else seems to be working, Power locks, mirrors ect. I checked all my fuses and relays and i didnt see anything alarming with any of them.

How about the fuses under the hood ? fuses 1,3 and 5 They're the main power fuses for all your interior fuses.

Welcome to the forum

What Year Ranger?


1995 to 2003 has the GEM module behind the radio, on the left, it has several connectors on it and if one got pushed/pull loose then that would account for these issues
The GEM is the body computer, it runs all the cab electrics
i.e. wiper switch doesn't connect to wiper motor, it connects to GEM, when you activate wiper switch GEM sees that and activates the wipers

Think I have the same issue

But don’t have factory radio or power windows. Don’t have an answer yet and have pulled and checked all the fuses.
