Cool Electrical issues?

Hello all. I just bought my first Fit , its an 07 with 125K. Got a great deal but i'm having some issues. I am no mechanic, but not an idiot either. Anyway, AC stopped working (button does light) , it was working great when I bought it. front parking lights left & right are out, both fog lights too. ACC Socket was working and stopped, and rear window defog is not working (no light). I replaced the AC relay, that didn't help. I checked all the corresponding fuses they all seem fine. I did not check the bulbs on the fogs or the front parking lights (assuming the odds of both pairs being blown seemed unlikely). Any chance all these things are connected? I saw another post referring to a multi-something or other that cause weird seemingly unrelated electrical issues.

Besides all of the above, I absolutely LOVE my fit. It purrs like a kitten and is a blast to drives! Planning on keeping it for a long time, but I would like to get some of the glitches worked out without spending as much as buying a new one.

FYI it was in a rear/front fender bender prior with only what appears to be cosmetic damage. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

start with the obvious (again). Take a second look at the fuses. That is just too many problems to happen at once and a blown fuse is the likely culprit.

When you have multiple seemingly unrelated failures, start with one (usually the simplest) and troubleshoot it. When it is fixed, if there are still other failures, choose the next simplest one and troubleshoot it.
