Clock, Radio, Rear defrost not working '90 legend

My dash clock, radio, rear defrost and door chime all stop working every once in a while, but all always stop working at the same time. Sometimes it happens if I turn the radio up too loud, but not always.

Is there some common circuit or fuse that they are all on?

Is there some circuitry reference I can look at to see if they are, instead of having to take it to the mechanic?

Thanks

I"d say YES.. they must all share the same ct.. but... why is the rear defrost on the same ct. as the radio? yikes..is the radio a custom installation, or is it a factory radio.. was is maybe replaced in the past and then put back in and then sold to you as a used car?

Things to check out...

if so.. pull the radio out. check for wiring issues / shorts back there. see if it's the original wiring harness back there.

Turning up the radio loud draws lots of current, maybe exasperating a wiring issue or a cold solder joint and creating a short.. etc...

just some ideas
