I have no clue where to start. About 5 months ago I stopped my car abruptly and the car started a loud HONK and the headlights stayed on. So I pulled the horn fuse in the engine bay, but the lights stayed on. Finally my buddy tapped something in the fuse box and the lights went off and the horn wasn't honking, when i replaced the fuse. I thought it was my aftermarket alarm so I pulled the brain, and it hasnt happened since.

Fast forward to today. For the past few days my radio and heat would cut out. Till tonight when the radio cut out, heat, and power locks. All other electrical is fine. I checked all fuses, none are broken. So I am wondering what location i can check the wiring since i know that the radio, heat and power locks are affected. I pulled the battery for the night and the horn fuse.

If i was too vague just let me know, ask any questions. I wanna try and get this figured out as soon as possible.
 
1)Don't bump your posts.

2)did you actually stick a multimeter on the fuses (continuity test) or did you just visually inspect them?

Honestly it sounds like a serious electrical malfunction, I'd start inspecting the wiring harness for damage, especially under the dash, along the dirver's side door sill and the engine bay. Also check all the relays and fuses again., both the panel inside the cabin and the one under the hood, check for loose grounds inside the cab and under the hood,and make sure your battery is tied down.
