Hi there. Since all of the items are located in the cabin area of the vehicle, look for a loose or broken ground wire from the cab to the frame or fuse box. There could be a pinched wire in the door or under the dashboard. A loose or broke ground will cause multiple issues in all of the electrical circuits in a vehicle. If you need further assistance with your electrical issues, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
