I have a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge, with the 3.0 engine. I recently removed the factory radio, and now my windshield wipers and power windows don’t work...and I don’t even know why. I’ve checked all the fuses and they are all good. I had a mechanic put the computer in here to check for codes, but none came up. He told me that it has to be in my dash. But I haven’t cut any wires, so I don’t understand. Please help!

Pull out and TEST fuse #6 in cab fuse box, don't just look at it
10amp fuse or replace it
Radio and windows share that fuse

You don't mention putting in a new radio
Did you?

If so maybe when you slid it in a connector behind it unplugged

I did install another radio, but not at the same time. And the only reason for that is because I had run out of time to do so. I had to jump in my truck and go pick up my grandbabies. It then started raining, so I went to turn on my wipers and they wouldn’t come on. Nor would the window roll down. But all of that was before the new radio was installed. I’m gonna go check the fuse that you said, and I’ll let you know if that fixed my problem. Thanks for helping me.
