Strange electrical issue

A few days ago while driving, I noticed that the seat belt indicator was steady on with no chime even though I was wearing my seat belt. Additionally the radio wasn’t working even though it was on/powered (display lit, able to change stations but no sound). Got home and discovered the following also unpowered/not working:
Power windows,
Power locks,
Side view mirror adjustment,
Dome light with door open,
Chime with keys in the ignition or headlights on and the door open.
I checked all fuses and they all are good. From what I read on other forums, the IOD fuse (under the yellow guard) is often the culprit. It checks good, but I changed it anyway, still no help. I also determined that there is power going to that fuse (IOD). Kind of at a loss where to look next. Anyone else experience something similar?

Ignition switch? Usually once they wear out things start to glitch. Not sure how to test it but I would start with the connection point on the steering column and check for loose or broken wires....

That would make sense. Also not sure how I’d troubleshoot that but definitely can look for broken wires.
