If you have multiple electrical items not working then you have a base electrical problem. I.E.-a common electrical source has failed such as the battery or battery cable. You listed several items but it is unclear if you are saying they all failed at

Our New Car: A 2004 Honda Pilot (Bought Off of Craigslist)
Our 1997 Ford F-150 was approaching 200,000 miles and was having quite a few issues, including some significant rusting, engine problems, starter problems, a damaged flywheel, and a few other things going on with it. Not only that, we had a third child on the way, so we knew that we would need at least one vehicle that would comfortably seat all five members of our family, as neither of our vehicles did this really well.
Our primary buying concerns were space and reliability . We wanted a model that had a track record of reliability that also afforded the space for three children at a minimum (and perhaps one or two more).
, J.D. Power, and other consumer publications that offered survey-based ratings of both new and old models. We actually began our search in late 2008 (!) by simply collecting data on all vehicles that could seat six or more and were made between 2000 and 2009. This pretty much restricted us to vans and SUVs.
We then began to rate them based on other criteria. How reliable were they according to the survey data? What was the gas mileage like? Does the brand or the model have a history of expensive repairs?
We wound up developing a spreadsheet of various van and SUV models, which I separated into three classes – Strongly Interested, Possibly Interested, and Avoid. The “strongly interested” models (of which the Honda Pilot was one of the top entries) were ones that had a history of reliability and at least passable gas mileage. The “possibly interested” ones had a few question marks but would have been acceptable purchases. The “avoid” models were ones that just weren’t up to snuff.
We then used various pricing sites to come up with prices that we were willing to pay for the models, particularly the ones we were interested in. We did not anticipate much value for the truck – we were largely assuming we would just buy the replacement and find the best way to offload the truck, even if it meant simply throwing a sign in the window and parking it somewhere.
