Default Radio and heater on 98 ranger stopped working

I searched thru all the pages but could not find anything that linked the 2 problems I have together? I checked both fuses and they are good?

When you say "heater" are you talking about the blower motor. Any other symptoms ie. Air bag light etc, Is your radio Factory. If it is aftermarket could it be tied in with the "heater" check your blower motor relay in the distribution box

It most likely is a fuse I would check all the fuses in the dist box too It doesn't sound like a relay but fyi you can swap the blower and starter relay to check.
