Default Ford Ka wiring, a lot of stuff not working

Hello,
I am looking for either a wiring diagram or someone who can read one and point me in the right direction since I dont understand them myself.

All of a sudden a bunch of stuff went out in my car at the same time, headlights(full and half), fog lights, window elevators, heat fan, brake lights. Position lights and turning signals still work, together with some instrumental lighting and such.

I shoved my foot up in all the wires above the pedals, and for a second it all went on, so I know something is wrong there but I can not find any wire that is loose.

So my question - At what contact or wire do all those things join together?

Sorry for my english, I hope it is interpretable. Thank you so much in advance!

there are plenty of plugs up there which may be loose coming from the steering column or fusebox, so thats the best place to start looking from

Ah yes, I do know that the problem is somewhere around there. The thing is I have spent 5-6 hours yanking every single cable and I cant find the one that is causing the problem.

I figured if I knew exactly which one it was I can replace the contacts in both ends and thats it. Instead of changing 200 of them.

So any help is very much appreciated! Anyone have a Haynes manual that can take a photo of the wiring or something? I just ordered one but it will arrive in a week.
