Default no map lights, no seat heaters, no steering adjustment, no CRANK!!!

Driving through a rough neighborhood today, i pull over to get some gas, turn the car off, fill her up, get back in, and no start!?!?!?! Not even a click, sounded like there was no signal being sent to the starter. Some other things i noticed were that my electric mirrors weren't working, my steering column adjustment wasn't working, my map lights weren't working, my seat heaters weren't working. I'm hoping there is a relay somewhere. I sat in the gas station for an hour looking through the manual popping out fuses but they all look fine. There has to be a fuse to control all these signals, any help is greatly greatly appreciated.


EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT, IT WAS THE BODY PROCESSING MODULE GROUNDING (LOOSE BOLTS).

Do any, or all of your dash idiot lights come on ? First I'd try cleaning the battery posts and cables and where the grounds connect in the trunk. My other car (LR) died on me last weekend in the shopping center parking lot. I found a guy who was nice enough to give me a jump start but no luck. Got a cab home (wife and kid were with me. man that is embarrassing) came back with the Jag and jumper cables, cleaned the cables up, and it started right up without any jump.

Correction - my other car (LR) didn't die on me, it just wouldn't start when we came out of the grocery store. It appeared to be a battery problem.

hey jimmy. It is definitely not the battery. there is no corrosion on the wires, they are on tight, and i checked the voltage which reads over 13.5v.
I'm thinking it is a module, currently testing the relays right now, if i luck out, hopefully thats the problem.
