Default Very Strange Problem. need help. please

The strangest thing happened when I went to get into my car and go to work this morning. I am hoping that one of you can lead me to fixing what ever went wrong.
First my keyless entry didn’t work. I thought, no big deal, maybe my battery just died. Then when I cranked my car on, neither the radio or clock turned on, so i immediately checked the radio fuse under the hood, but it appeared to still be in tacked. Then I noticed that my dome light wouldn’t turn on at all either, no matter how many times I pushed the buttons. I drove the car to work and figured that the car would work things out by the time I headed home for the evening.
Well, to make a long story short, my keyless entry, clock, radio, and dome lights still do not work. What in the world can I do to get my radio, clock, keyless, and lights to start working again? I appreciate any help.

Remove your battery terminals, and then put them back on. There might of been a short somewhere o.o

no, the car was sitting overnight, nothing abnormal.

i took my avn 6600 out to inspect the wireing and everything, and noticed that my remote wire leading to my amp came unhooked. that wouldnt be the colpit, would it?

i really dont want to have to take it to the dealer, but i may have to.

Make sure that the remote wire is back on... You'd be suprised how often Audio causes the issues.
