between the main power board under the bonnet and the fuse box inside the car is a problem what? i have no idea but check for power to the fuses inside the car then if no power theri you have a main fuse blown under the bonnet in the power distribution box and work backwards using logic to find the fault

If it happened after jumping car than Yes look in the main fuse box under the hood and check all fuses there, you may need a volt ohm meter to check some of them...

The Central Timer Module (CTM, called BCM on some vehicles) supports or controls:
Automatic door lock/central locking
Battery protection
Chimes
Exterior lights (park lamps, fog lamps, headlamps)
Interior lights
Intermittent wiper control
Power lock control
Remote keyless entry (RKE)
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
Remote radio control (from steering wheel)

It covers all the problems you described except the 4WD controls. I suspect you may want to have the CTM checked, or do like I did and just replace it (used about $75-$100 on eBay). Make sure you get the part number on yours and match the number portion (not necessarily the two letter suffix) EXACTLY.
It should be located behind the kick panel to the left of the driver's feet (that's where it is on my 2003 Dakota), but may be to the right of the glove box (have to remove the glove box to get to it).

I hve the same problem go under the hood for the fuse box you will c a fuse that has a blk clip around the whole fuse it self to open it use a small screw driver the ones u use for ur glasses nd open it c if it needs to be changed out if good jst unplug it nd c wat it does on my car I jst unpluged it nd now everything working I think its called a iud some wired name but u can't miss it good luck

It may be doubled up with either the radio fuse or the interior lights. If you have replaced the stock radio with a CD player, then the CD player has its own fuse separate of the fuse box. I would start there...

the cracking noise in the radio sounds like a ground wire being on loose...the interior lighjts run off a fuse located under the dash next to your hood latch

On most vehicle the fuse for the clock will be the same as the interior dome light. As for the radio should be a 10 amp fuse (red). Usually found on the interior fuse panel for both.

Most likely is a fuse. There is a fuse box at the end of the right side of the dash. Open front passenger door and there is a cover that says fuses on the end of dash. There is also a fuse box located under the hood at the right front of engine compartment. It should have a cover with a round knob in the middle of it .Unscrew the knob to remove cover.
