Q: No blinkers, windshield wipers, AC, or radio

asked by on June 25, 2016

All at once I lost my windshield wipers, AC, blinkers, and radio. Just found out today everything works properly when just the battery is turned on, but when cranked nothing works. Hazards still work when cranked. What could be the issue?

My car has 160000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
