Without a hand-held meter or a test light go to the closet and drag out your Ouija Board.

SPARKS! You have a short.
POSSUM! None of the other dead lights or refrigerator light up. You have a cut wire or bad connection somewhere. This includes a trunk ground wire for that circuit.

But without you having a three dollar test light or four dollar electrical meter this is like playing a video game blindfolded.
Best of luck to you...
