So here it is. After jump starting my car one day (2002 Eclipse) about 2 minutes after the jump start a bunch of electrical things went out in my car. So some of the things that went out in my car at this time were:

Dash Clock
Power Door Locks (ONLY when the car is off, they work when the car is on)
CD player
Sunroof
Door Open light on dash

All those things went out meaning they do not have power anymore. As like if All of those fuses went out. So I then proceeded to check all the fuses. All of the fuses in the 2 fuse boxes (under dash, and in engine bay) are all good.
That brings me to my question,

What do you guys think happened? What should I check next to see what I need to replace?

Thanks for the help. Ill be glad to answere any questions, to help me find out what is wrong.

I would get an electrical diagram first, or a part of it, showing things you're trying to fix. Looks like the power is still missing somewhere, it could be a relay that doesn't come on anymore, or could be an ECU module that controls some functions. I have no experience on your type of car, but some things are common. Check CD player hookup and see if you get both ACC volts and Constant volts to it. If you figure this out, then your other problems could well be fixed too. I hope I made it clear enough for you, feel free to ask questions and post your results. Good luck.

Ok... where to start.... fuses not blown right?
Did the car start fine after jumping it?
Do you have problems trying to turn it on?
Have you tried using a different battery?

Alright, I will Test and post to let you know if there is ACC volts and Constant volts to it.
