Default help finding fuse

I recently had the windows, door locks, and sunroof, all stop working at the same time. Checked fuses and switches, nothing seemed bad. The weird thing is that now when I turn my lights on the trunk lid opens. Has anyone had this problem? My car is a 2.0 GLS from 2000. I'd really like to get this stuff working soon as I drive a long way to work everyday.

Off the top of my head, check the ignition switch and relays.

I read somewhere in here that someone had all the same symptoms and it turned out to be the rear lid motor was shorting out and blowing a fuse the windows and locks also used. I can tackle the motor later this week and use a key until then but I was hoping to find the fuse for my windows today. I will check the ignition switch too. Thanks for the tip.

D2 thanks for the tip once again but I have the fix and it was the easiest thing ever. I searched and searched to make sure I was checking all the relative fuses and relays. Never did figure out which fuse on the relay panel goes to the windows buttt... I decided to disconnect the negative battery terminal to see if there was a relay that would reset. waited a few minutes and reconnected the battery. Presto everything is working again. mind you I have also disconnect the rear lid motor as i hear that shorts out causing this problem so It will be getting checked out next. Oh the sweet victory!

Yeah but I still have to test the lid motor and don't know where the fuse /relay is?
