I just realized that the power windows and sunroof also quit working at the same time. I suspect a fuse for those. do you think they could be related to the diode?

i am waiting on my Haynes manual to come in and do not know where the fuses for the windows, etc. can be found. Is there an inside fuse box or do I need to go under the hood? There is a cold rain falling so I have not gone back out to explore this more.

I appreciate all your help Sixto.
