I was able to check all the fuses, except for 4-5 (under the hood) with a multimeter, which I couldn't reach the first try.
I've always worked on my own vehicles, but I'm no electronic/electrical guy. I only found out yesterday how to use my multimeter just enough... to check the fuses, lol. Have you ever heard the saying, " I drive it till the wheels fall off"? Well that's me!
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
And thanking you in advance.

Most likely culprit, dead battery. After an average of four years in the Florida heat and especially when in a hot garage, the life expectancy of a battery is a lot less then if you reside in a more temperate climate
