I had the same issue, and I had a fried wire on the back of my fuse box.
That's the one under the dash.

if your sure its not fuse related, did it happen one day out of the blue, or was it after you did some mod/work to the car?

if after you worked on the car make sure all the grounds are on, if not then you have a short (break in the wire) between the fuse box, and the devices that arent working.

at that point your options would be to find a patient mechanic whos going to fix it the right way and not ghetto it, or buy the electrcial troubleshooting helms and find it yourself, mine just came in the mail today

one more thing, sometimes fuses that are labeled for one thing also affect another, check them all, and the ones under the hood before you really move onto other things.

good luck.
