Multi functions failure wipers turn radio
 
I had the dreaded wipers don't work, no turn signals and no radio. First off tge snow got under the hood into the relay box. I know that the front two white ones are out I shaped them and foglights worked. I checked all fuses but this started before. I was working on my radio cleaning up the horrible wiring job. I noticed my radio quit but I hooked up a power wire and touched it yo radio power it turns on and works. I hook it up normal like always it's out. The next day my door locks don't work my windows won't roll down. I swapped fuses under hood I got door locks working.

Real question what might have shorted or what relay should i check for wipers and turn signals going out. Ive read atricles and im pretty sure its not the lever. Most likely a relay behind the radio or driver side floor board or up under that area. I was working there but everything was fine. Next day I found the leak the hard way. Only seemed to get front 3 relays.

What else should I swap out for wipers and radio to work again. Turn signals?

I have 12v power inside my vehicle to test things and know how to use a volt meter.

Still snowing but Ive dried things out. I want to know what i might have messed with while crossing stock radio wires togetger as they were split open for sone readon so i fixed them. Radio seemed to go first but I don't know now.

I have the wiring diagram book too for reference.

I noticed the door sound didnt work yill i put power to radio seemed to bring on function. Im confused

Thank you.

Ok I'm dumb so I checked all fuses again in the cab swear they all worked I checked them. I look today all blown I replace them boom it's all on again.
