Bad ignition switch. Fiddle with the key a little bit when the car is running to see if your blower motor and turn signals come back. If so, replace the ignition switch.

Do the hazard flashers work ?
Have you taken off the steering column cover like b chandler said ?
There's just 2 screws on the bottom cover and its right there.....the ignition switch (not the key and tumbler dohickey ) it is a weak point & recalls were issued blah blah blah.... seriously this switch could be the problem( I had pretty much same thing happening and the ignition switch was coming apart. Replaced switch and have had no further troubles)
The turn signal relay is in the radio console, get to it from the passenger side and it should be on the upper right hand side.

Let us know what you find.
