If it happened at the same time...

It could possibly be the GEM module. If you have any other weird electrical issues like your dome light staying on or your automatic headlights not working then it's probably the GEM module. If it is the GEM then you have to have the new one flashed(programmed) by the Ford dealer. The GEM is basically a computer for all your non-critical electrical stuff. The ignition and fuel systems use the main ECM computer while everything else that is secondary will go thru the GEM.
Of course it may just be a common power wire or circuit that operates your power windows/locks and radio that has a short or bad relay or switch. The main driver side switch will distribute power to all the locks and windows. If that switch is not getting power then it none of your windows or locks will work. The radio is usually on a separate circuit and operates thru a fuse in the fuse panel. If these things happened at different times then it's probably a wiring, fuse, relay, or switch issue.

Most probable is the motor in the power window shorted.
Have you ever had problems with the windows going up or down?

I installed a new tv radio on my 09 honda accord lxp. Now the parking lights and the ac climate control lights are not working. Can somebody please help me.

Check your fuses and double check your wiring. You've likely mis-wired something to the radio that also supplies power for the lights in the dash. So if you find a blown fuse, you might blow it again if it's a wiring issue. Of course, you may have bumped a wire to ground during the install which blew the fuse, so replacing it may be all that's needed.
I had an issue where a "small light fuse" in my 97 accord blew and my parking lights and dash lights didn't work. Small fuse under the hood was all that needed to be replaced.

My power window and door locks fuse keeps blowing.

When the fuse blows figure out what you are doing, what switch is being pressed, then remove the needed panels to access the wiring to the switch and motor it operates, then you will find the damaged wiring and repair the short, no quick fix, just hard grunt work.

Which audio wire could have tripped the power windows?

The radio should have 2 fuses, 1 is batt 10 or 15 amp and 1 is acc 7.5 amp. The windows should have 1 or 2 fuses and relays.

1997 Crown Vic blows radio fuses

The quickest way to find a short circuit is by putting a bulb in place of the fuse. Anytime the time the bulb lights there is a load. And if the load is a shorted wire the brightness of the bulb will give you a hint. So while you're at it, finding a 'short' is a quicky...keep your eyes on the bulb. gotcha!
