Just changed the ignition switch on my car. Now the electric windows, door locks, side mirrors and horn are not working. I found the fuses for the door locks and mirrors but have not found anything for the windows. Nothing working. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you have a IPC/IBC accessory 10 amp fuse that is out. Here is a guide and a wiring diagram so you can confirm the problem and get it fixed. Please check for power at the window circuit breaker as well.
