Default Weird electrical issue - nothing works

Hi guys,

I need some help w/ some weird electrical symptoms. When I turn on the car, the power door locks, the power mirrors, the driver memory seat presets don't work. And, the mirrors are dimmed always.

Also, when the lights are on, the little green light-on indicator doesn't turn on but does when I turn the car off. But then, the lights don't automatically turn off like they should.

In addition, when the car is on, when I push the door lock, nothing happens. But the if I close the windows (the windows don't move) but the door locks.

Weird stuff. Help?

Thanks!

Nothing was done to the car. It was fine when I went to work in the morning. And was like this when I was leaving work. It was raining but no work was done to the car.

check your main Fuse. This usually happens after you jump the car with reversed polarity. The main fuse pops and the exact same thing happens.

Sorry if this sounds stupid. But where is the main fuse? I'm looking the Owner's manual and I have a list of fuses 1-48 but nothing that says main fuse.

Oh, btw, sorry for not noting this earlier. While none of these things work while the car is on, I can still use the remote to lock the doors. I just can't use the door switches to lock the car....

Weird. Sounds like there is some logic involved? Would a fuse result in this type of different behavior?
