I believe I have a short. It started with my radio powering off, then back on. Then it included my power windows, and as of this morning, it included my ignition. I am not sure where those items would come together other than at the fuse panel. Any suggestions?

Welcome, might be a problem with ignition switch, you can check feed to and from the switch. Use a testlite, check maxi fuse 5 and 6, 50 and 40 amp, under hood fuse block. Those circuit should be hot all the time. My info shows two red wires that carry voltage to the ignition switch, check for voltage. Then we would check the feed circuit from the switch. The power window circuit breaker goes hot when you turn on the key.
