I hope you got it fixed by now.

When you check a fuse, you also have to check that the circuit, where the fuse plugs-in, is hot, when it is supposed to be. The top of the fuse usually has a bare spot over each leg, you can use a testlite there, so you don't have to unplug the fuse.

You might also check the battery, clean the cables on both ends. Any smaller wires coming off the battery posts, clean them also. One of the smaller wire/s that come off the positive battery post, should go to a junction block. I believe most of the circuits your having problems with, get their feed from that junction block, do some testing there.
