Default 87 electrical problem

I have a 1987 convertible with a couple problems. The interior door lights don't light up at all, the power antenna doesn't go up or down, and the heater doesn't work at all no lights work on the heater. It seems that all of this happened at one time. If anyone knows a possible fix it would be greatly appreciated!

I believe the items your mentioning are all powered from the same (accy) fuse in the fuse box. Check for open fuses -- replace the fuse if open --open the doors so the lights come on and then turn one component on at at time to see which blows the fuse again to help you narrow the problem down. Do not put a larger fuse in to attempt to resolve the problem/s.
