Start by checking the fuse(s) to those components. If the fuse is blown, replace it with the same kind. If it blows again, you have a deeper problem.

Is the radio factory or aftermarket?

Remind us again what year your Jeep is and if it's an XJ body.

All those things are in the Acc. group so it has to be either a fuse (likely) or the wiring very possible. It could be a ground but I think if it were you would have had intermittent problem before a total loss.

I hate running down electrical problems, may be just a fuse.

Fuses are your best bet... then its probably the Acc. group connection or connectors... worst comes to worse your gonna have to have that ground....
