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 running)
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.

How did you check the fuses? Also check the fusible links and any relays in the fuse box.

Is there anything else that doen't work?

I checked the fuses by pulling them out individually and visually looking at it to see if it is blown. All were all still connected. And Idk what the fusible links look like and how to check those. and the relays i dont know how to check due to they are the solid black blocks correct?

and for all the things that I can tell doesnt work that i notice are:

Door locks (when cars off)
CD player
Dash clock
Door open light on the dash
Sunroof
and I think I recal the chime (where the noise makes when the key is half turned maybe)

Ok, I will try replacing the battery tomorrow, I have an extra battery so it wont be to much of a problem to do that.

And I have No problems starting my car.

Thanks guys for all the help, keep it comming
