Default Radio, glove box light, dome light, map light stopped working at same time

So I started my car and was backing out and then these things all shut off. More specifically, the radio was on and playing music for a few seconds and then no power. I looked at every single fuse once and didn't see anything broken. I'm going to check again but please help anybody. I'll also add that the light in the hatch went off too. The hatch release in the glove box still works.

My Mustang is in storage so can't look myself, but are all those on the same fused circuit ? I can't remember....

Check the back of the fuse block and see if the wires for that circuit are loose or pushed through.

Otherwise give everything a wiggle test till you find the culprit.

I believe they are....not positive though. I'll look in my owner's manual tonight when I get home. I'm just going to check all the fuses again and also behind the fuse box, I'll make sure all wires are connected properly.

Alright, I found the fuse that broke. I checked them all before and didn't see it so that just goes to show, always double check. Everything turned back on. I looked at it too quickly at first because I was in a hurry and didn't see it was broken until double checking.
