Electrical problems-Help!

[manofmayo]

Got in the car this evening to go get Teriyaki, started it up and noticed the rear wiper would only work on continuous speed.

Then I noticed the A/C, clock and all the lower switches weren't working at all; but there stereo, headlamps and all the guages worked fine. No CE light, nor did I get any codes when I checked. All the fuses are intact under the hood.

One odd thing is the tranny temp guage light worked, but it didn't read any temp.

Any ideas?

edit: Also just checked...the one visor that worked is out.
Another thing, I noticed one of the hoses to the tranny cooler more than the shop led me to believe; both wires to the temp guage are soaked in tranny oil. Could this have shorted out part of the electrical system?
