Answer
Hi Matthew:

did you check the fuses at the fuse box behind the glove box. that is where the radio/windows fuses are.. You may have an issue with the RAP retained accessory power. that is controled by the body control module and a relay if for some reason there is an issue with the BCM or the replay all the accesories powered up by that relay will not work. is there anything else on this electrical that doesn't work like the PRNDL lamps on the cluster blower motor etc.... You could have an ignition swithc that has high resiatnce on one of the ckts and not allowing all of these things to be in-op. It's hard to say. But start by check power at the fuse box and see what is and what is not powered up when the key is in the on/run position and go from there.
