weird electrical puzzle

90 4.0 auto. Sat in the driveway for a month or so, had to jump it. Started right up. Had the fan blowing, radio on. Stopped at the taco shop, shut it off. Started right up 20 minutes later, but no radio, no fan, no turn signals (signals worked on the drive over). Radio and blower fuses are okay. Is there something consistent with these three things that would cause them to go bad same time? Hazard lights work, interior lights work, gauges have power, headlights work. Appreciate any help. Thanks!
 
I think they all share a "power in" wire to the fuse box. Brown wire from the ignition switch, through a splice, to the fuse block.
At the splice it seperates to the horn relay and the front wiper and washer circuit and then on to the fuse block for the turn signal, blower and radio fuses.
If the horn and wipers are still working, the break is probably after the splice. If they aren´t working, it´s probably either the ignition switch or the wire from the switch to the splice.
 
check your ignition switch, it's behind the lower dash on top of the steering column. it should have 3 plugs i think, wiggle them. If that doesn't work, replace the switch.
 
Thanks for all the help! Got it fixed. Put in a new ignition switch. Bugger to get to, but everything seems to be working as it should.
