fuse look ok, but did you test the connectors between fuses and wires these are mostly rusty so sand them with a piece of sandpaper and the fuses too and try again......

That all seems logical, the items you list as not working are all on the same fuse as well as the feed to the voltage regulator, hence no charging. Assuming you have a late 80's car with 5 fuses, the one you need to look at is the third one down from the top. Not completely sure which it'll be on a 3 fuse car, but think it'll be the middle of the 3, and have blue sleeves on the terminals.
The + feed to it is on the left as you look at the box, (offside of car). Then follow LPGO's advice and clean the contacts, they're not the most reliable of things.

And get the battery recharged asap, they don't like being left flat.
