Good morning,

Does the car start and run? I am concerned the battery is too low to supply voltage to the car.

Okay, Let us address the blower first.

Make sure you have power to the blower motor as in the diagram I attached. One of the wires should have voltage with the key on. If there is no voltage, check the fuse listed for power on both sides.

Okay, the brake lights. I attached another diagram for you to view. Check for power to the switch at the wire I highlighted.

Okay, the windows.

I attached a diagram for you. Check for voltage at the fuses listed and at the master switch with the highlighted wires.

I have checked all fuses and all are good. I just don't understand how everything could quit all at the same time. Car was running fine I stopped for gas when I restarted the car that is the problem.

Finally the wipers. Check the fuse listed for power.

The one thing they have in common is the GEM module or the body control module.

Did you verify voltages at the fuse on both sides? The fuse can look good but does it have power?

Did you verify power to the components as I highlighted?
