I am at a loss here 1999 eclipse gs.

I was driving my car to class one day and all the sudden the horn started blowing. I pulled over disconnected the battery then unhooked the horn. When the horn started blowing the heater motor stopped. After class I drove the car home and parked it, noticing the windows wouldn't roll up. Started the car up next day and moved it beside the house, the next day I went out and turned the ignition switch and got nothing. no power inside the car. I started checking fuses under the hood. everything checks out good and I have power under the hood to everything except the radio fuse. I started checking fuses inside the car and nothing blown but have no power at all to the fuse block. I have changed the ignition switch, battery and started checking grounds everything seems to be good but still the car will not turn over with the key, I jumped the starter and it turns over but won't fire. I'm guessing because the car seems to have no power from ignition switch. I'm at a loss here and could really use some advice. i noticed during the search several people have almost the same problem but still no fix yet.
:banghead:

Problems:
no gauges
no heat/ac blower
no power windows
no sunroof
no blinkers
no power under the dash

What works:
headlights
hazard lights
 
I rechecked all fuses everything seems right, just no power to the inside fuse panel and nothing from switch. No Lights on dash when you turn the ignition switch. I moved the car from drive way to the side of the house came out next day and nothing when I turn the key.
 
Makes me think you have a shorted wire running into the cabin. Which in turn melted the insulation on other wires, causing your multiple symptoms.
 
yes I checked it with a meter and everything seems good bro

pulled the plugs off the ecu and one had some brown sticky residue puddle in it.

Is there anyway to bypass the security system temporarily? I pulled the fuse and disconnected the battery but still not doing anything.

Security system wouldn't make the blower motor stop or the windows to stop working. You have a main fuse busted, or as I said, a wire rubbed insulation off and shorted. Most likely around the firewall due to the interior fuse box getting no power
