Default Fuse or Shortage???

So tonight I unlocked the Jeep and as usual, the dome and headlights come on. As I turned the key, as usual the dome and headlights go off. Well I tried to turn my headlights back on...Nothing! I couldn't turn my dome lights back on either. This also includes my turn signals, horn, windshield wipers. It's like all my steering wheel controls went dead. I checked each individual fuse and they look good.

Is there just One fuse that controls all?
Anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

A few things to check.

Is your battery good?

Are the battery connectors tight?

(JKs are notorious for acting weird if one of the above is true)

Try unhooking the battery for a few minutes.

There are fuses that control multiple accessories and functions. I'd check the fuses first and also the battery connections as stated above.
