A/C heater is stuck on windshield defrost.

The radio no longer works and both the radio and A/C no longer have the electronic display lit up.

I checked the fuses and all seem to be intact.

Any thoughts?

check fuses # 20 ,12,8 and 24 all 5A
and located in fuse junction panel under left corner of instrument panel
also check fuse # 17 its 20A located battery junction box front center of engine compartment


if all tested ok check ignition switch

I checked the fuses; all are intact including the fuses in the battery junction box in the engine compartment.

Just curious about the ignition switch reccomendation. My car still starts, what would be the rationale pointing there?
