Default Electrical Issue

Have a 97 A4 1.8TQMS, started it the other day and blower for the AC, windshield wipers, horn, headlights high and low, rear defrost and the fog light switches on front console are also not working, fuses seem fine I am thinking it may be a relay switch, can anyone confirm or suggest what may be the issue?? Thanks

Default its a relay. the big one that says 370 on it that is the third one from the left.. [OT:bentley?]

its called the load reduction relay, a year ago an electrical snafu fried this relay on my car. it took a lot of searching to figure out where it came from.

on a side note, my bentley book seems to have sprouted legs and walked away (its probably in a box somewhere, actually). can someone post the complete wiring diagram for the power windows? i would like to avoid, if possible, taking my car to the shop to spend another 2 hours in labor trying to figure out the cause of my power window problem :\
