91, 300 ZX Twin-Turbo. 24 k miles

I hope someone can draw a connection on the following details. They could be a coincidence and possibly not.
1. Antenna won't work all of a sudden. No warning, not even trying and it's fairly new. Radio works fine.
2 As for the radio though, when I turn the car off, the radio defaults to an off state. I have to turn it on. I don't remember having to do that in the past. I don't drive this car very often, so my memory might be an issue.
3. The Air Bag light is on.
4. The air conditioner seems to default back to an off state as well when I start the car back up.
5. The clock display stopped working.
6. This all seemed to be after I blow the dome light.

The car never had any issues or problems until all this stuff seemed to happen at once, or very close time span.
Any thoughts ?????

Are you sure the dome light didn't blow from a short in the system? This would explain a lot of issues.

I've looked at all the fuses, they look good, Am I overlooking something?

Electrical issues are really hard to pin down. Air bag light could be a simple relay. Start with the small things and work your way up. Check for corrosion at connectors and any frayed wires.
