Default Sudden partial electrical failure

Upon my visit to Safeway on the way home from work, I returned to my car (95 Accord EX), turned it on, and certain things failed to work. Everything works on the car, and the car still runs, but here is a list that has failed:

Tachometer, Speedo
SRS
ABS
parking brake light
Power windows, sunroof
Clock, cigarette lighter, ashtray
Rear defroster...

Everything else works, power mirrors, lights, dash illumination, stereo, VAFC, etc... all fuses have been checked and are ok... my windows and sunroof are stuck open... so i need to get this fixed ASAP... Is there a master relay that controls just these things? Help!?

This is cross-posted under Accord as well.

Did you check the underhood fuses as well as the dash fuses. It sounds like a blown fuse-cigarette lighters often cause fuses to blow, and there are many circuits driven by the same fuse that powers the cigarette lighter. Without the ETM for your car I would just be guessing as to what the cause of your problem is, so that is all the help that I can offer at this point.

All fuses were checked... All were ok... After some time, i tried turning on the car again, reset the battery, and then checked the fuses again... The "backup light" fuse had blown, I replaced it, and it burned out again. I then checked the fuses under the hood, and the cooling fan fuse had blown. I'm flipping through the Helms, but am having very little luck.
