stumped by an electrical issue, please help??

Ok so two nights ago before I came in for the night everything was working perfectly. 5 hours later when I went to leave my door locks don't work, dome light, map light and door lights are out as well, and my rear defroster doesn't work. However the front defroster works and so does the instrument panel and the windows work too. I have checked every fuse I can find and all visible wires. Can any help here?

Check fusible link #I (India) in the under hood fuse box, it should be the second one from the left on the bottom left side of the box when you are looking at it from the fender.

The only other circuit these may have in common is the Time Control Module which controls all of those circuits. But I imagine that isn't going to be a cheap thing to find.

Check your FSM pages EL-109-111 and the fold out for more info. The link to the FSM is above the quote button in my sig.

well no recent mods, everything on it was put on about.....7 months ago so nothing recent that would be causing an issue i'd think. and i was looking into the FSM all day today and i was noticing the time control module did have the common connection but it controls more than just those, wouldn't it have affected them all not just half of it?

Sorry I wasn't specific on that part, they work but only if I do it manually, like button doesn't work nor does it if you turn the key twice to lock/unlock all doors, oh and to add to it, the right around my ignition doesn't work either (the light)

Will the car start and run fine? Is the security ligt on? Did you lock the car with the alarm when you parked it for 5 hours?
