Windows, roof, and wipers not working? ('97 Integra)?

Recently I tried turning my wipers on but I didn't know they were totally iced, so they clunked and stopped responding (both front wipers and rear wiper) even after the ice had been melted away. I assumed burned out motors.(checked all fuses)BUT I realized that my power windows and power sunroof and wiper-fluid-shooter stopped working at the same time. radio heat AC fan all still work.This leads me to believe the windows roof and wipers work of the same circuit/line/plug(thing*) and that thing* is bad.I have tried: checking the fuse box, and unplugging the battery for 11 minuets(to reset the computers). neither changed anything.I asked this question awhile ago but that was before I realized the other stuff wasn't working.Thanks in advance.

Answer:

Well I'm assuming if they all work off of the same circuit, you've lost a power or ground somewhere along the way (Which I'm assuming you've figured out) You said the fuse box is ok. And really, you can't figure this out at home. You need wiring schematics for your exact vehicle, and for all the systems with problems. You would also need an Ohm meter to find out exactly where you've lost power or ground. All in all, I recommend taking it to a mechanic if you can't get these things, or don't know how to work the Ohm meter.
Check the fuses again in the engine compartment and driver footwell. Or replace them. They are only like $3 for a few and it doesn't hurt to have a few back ups. I don't believe the wipers would be connected to the windows in any way. Only possible thing they can share is a fuse.
