Default Electrical Issue!

OK now, all of a sudden, on my '95 Ram, the windows don't work and the Brake, Airbag, and AWS warning lights are on, wipers still work ..

I looked at the fuses and all seem fine, what else can I check? I know very little about auto electric

Default Look under the hood

Joe, Take a look under the hood in the relay box. I had the same problem on my Durango and it was one of the 5 prong relays. When the get old sometimes they'll get sticky or refuse to work. Just a suggestion because it fixed my problem.

Do I remove the 5 prong relays and plug back in? Or take them in to get tested?

What I did at first was just switch them out to see if it solved the issue, When it did I went to Amazon and bought a few of these and replaced the one bad one. They are cheap so due to age you might just replace all of them.
Amazon Amazon

Two questions still -

are all the 5 prong in the relay box the same?

would one bad one cause these 3 warning lights to go on at the same time?
windows don't work and the Brake, Airbag, and AWS warning lights

Brake, airbag, and ABS are likely related, windows, however, are a separate problem.
