Smile The dreaded window/mirror issue

Hello all - im brand new to the forum - so apologies for any errors in my post

recently fixed the common brake light switch issue which sorted out the cruise control and the dash asr/bas light _ happy days

but today, the passenger electric window and mirrow have stopped working - copletely dead.
and to top it off - on the way to the garage this evening i realised that the outside temp display is not lit either

Loads of searching the web has brought up a range of different causes/fixes for the window and mirror problem - but i wondered if anyone had any views or fixes that the think is best - and is there a chance the 3 could be linked?

i havent tried anything yet, thought i would start here!!!

it all worked fine two days ago aswell! typical...

many thanks

I don't know about the window and mirror, but my temp went out, so I bought a new cluster thinking (or not thinking) it was broken, but it turned out to be a burned out bulb that needed to be changed.....while I had the cluster removed I replaced all the bulbs at once so as not to have to remove the gauge cluster again. So the temp needs a new light in back of the cluster changed....

If you remove the underdash panel or knee bolster thing you can get to the bulbs in the back of the dash.
