Since all the fuses in your Chevrolet Silverado checked out fine, it sounds like it might be a weak ground issue. I recommend checking the ground connections to make sure they are all securely made to clean, corrosion free bare metal surfaces. A ground connection can loosen over time, which would possibly explain why everything worked great in the fall but now you are experiencing issues.
If this does not resolve the issue, please let me know and I will be happy to look into this further. I have also attached a wiring troubleshooting article that you may find helpful.
