1989 Ram 250 Electrical Problems

I wrote 2 days ago about my headlights & tail lights not working. Well I did not mention that my power windows and door locks did not work as well. I started to have electrical problems after I bought the van. First the overhead fuse box which controls opera lights, CB, and such quit working. Then recently the Head Lights and Tail Lights quit along with the power windows and power locks. The fuses all appear to be fine. I put a new headlight switch in and it still does the same. If I turn the headlight switch to the left it makes the over head dome light come on as expected. Does any one have an insight to a possible reason to this? Perhaps a hard to locate short or a relay that may be at cause? I am stumped. If I find out what caused this I will post it for all in case this happes to you one day.

I've had similar problems with my 1988 Ram 250--both with the windows and the wipers--and in both cases it was a loose ground.:screwy: I just diciphered in similar issue with my heater blower motor--but that one turned out to be a bad resistor. Too much bangin around over the 210 K miles.:nono:
