My wife was driving the truck today and discovered she could not turn the wipers off when she reached her destination, also, the automatic door locks suddenly would not work, nor would the remote work on the locks - we can lock and unlock the doors manually. I've just realized the headlights won't come on and the lights on the dash (emergency brake, etc) are off as well. I removed the wiper fuse so she could drive it home. Thanks for your help!

Yep, everything happened at the same time - My wife had run a couple of errands during lunch and when she got back to her office, noticed the wipers wouldn't turn off without cutting the motor off and then she couldn't lock the doors.
