AC, all interior, and all exterior lights are out (not working)

Hi all,
This is my first time posting. A close friend of mine has offered to sell me his 2004 X-Type for practically a give away price. It's aesthetically in excellent shape.
The car has an issue, though. All interior lights, exterior lights, and the AC aren't working.
It happened all of a sudden. It was his daily driver for a couple of months. Everything worked as it should. Then, he parked it for three weeks while he went on vacation. When he got back, he went to start the car. It starts up just fine. But, the AC wouldn't turn on, the interior lights wouldn't come on, and none of the exterior lights would come on. It's as though everything electrical is completely disconnected from a power source, but the car still starts right up.
Any ideas for what the issue could be? Is there one fuse that might've blown that would effect the AC, Interior, and exterior lights?
I know this is broad shot-in-the-dark type question, but any input would be appreciated.
I have access to the car to try different things to see if I can fix it before committing to buy it.
As an alternative question, would anyone know of a good jaguar mechanic for these cars in Phoenix, Arizona who could give me a diagnosis?
Thanks so much.
Best,
J

If you look up some fuse diagram you should be able to see which one it is. And when looking up fuse diagrams, be sure to specify the model year as I believe the fuses aren't really organized the same for pre-2004 models and post-2004 models.

Right, thanks for the heads up, JaguArvid. When I head over to look at the car next, I'll check the sticker on the door for the manufacture date to make sure I get the right diagrams. After I saw your post, I read somewhere that even within the 2004 year the diagrams can be different, depending on when in '04 it was manufactured. If this is true, doe anyone know when the cut off date would be for the change over.

The only thing I know about these cars, other than I really like their aesthetic, is what I've read on this forum today.
So, I really appreciate everyone's feedback. It's really very kind.
