The radio and front wiper quit working, fuses and relays are all good. Two days later no power locks and speedometer no longer works. We have no clue what it wrong. Does anyone know?

I have not looked at your wiring, yet. Just pick one system, check applicable fuse for voltage, use a test light. Some fuses are hot all the time, some go hot with the key on.

Any applicable trouble codes? Will the vehicle start and run? Some of the national brand auto stores will check codes for free.

The diagram is for base radio. Check the fuse circuit for voltage, One fuse circuit is hot all the time, the other goes hot with the key on.

My vehicle does run and we did use a test light, and I had the code tested and all it said was speed control sensor.

Title of your post said fuse problem. Are you saying you have voltage at the applicable fuses?

If the component has good voltage and good ground, maybe the component is faulty? If the bcm has control over those components, then check the BCM.

If the speedometer does not work, then check the vehicle speed sensor, where applicable.

The wipers are not working properly. The "Hi" and "Low" both work, but when I put it on any of the delay positions, the wipers stick and try to move. Any ideas? Not sure if it is the wiper arm switch or something more.

Thank you!

The rear wiper will not work, because there was heavy snow on it and I turned the wiper on to clear the window. Now seems like it will not stay in the right area. Anyway to reset it back to factory?

The wiper arm could be stripped out.
