Reverse Lights, A/C fan out, airbag light on

Yesterday about the same time (maybe exactly the same time), I noticed that my A/C fan stopped blowing, my airbag light was illuminated on my dash (no other warning lights there), and my reverse lights stopped working.

Before I start tackling these individually, is there a likely culprit that would cause all of them to go out at once?

Edit: 2003 Mazda B3000
V6, Automatic
297,000 miles

Also, the airbag light is solid. It never flashes to give a code.

I didn't know that there were airbags or back up lights on a Vespa.

If we had some more information on your truck like year, engine, transmission we might be able to help.

Well that was easy. Fuse 2 (10A) had blown, in the fuse panel to the left of the instrument cluster.

That fuse controls:
Daytime Running Lights (DRL), Back-up lamps, Transmission, Passenger air bag deactivation switch, Blower motor relay

Replacing that fixed all my problems, except for dealing my ex!

I'm curious as to why it blew. I'll keep an eye on things.

Sometimes fuses just blow.
Glad it was an easy fix.

I would pull the bulbs out of the lights and inspect for corrosion. My 2000 ranger had bad corrosion in the tail light sockets. Then I would do a visual inspection of the harness, especially under the bed. Then start wigglinging wires to see if you can get it to blow again.
