car just died - only accessories have power help!
so yesturday I was on my way to a midterm and while leaving a red light the car just stalled - i then went to turn her back on and nothing - guages don't turn on at all - completely dead - after checking the battery and combing over some things with a voltmeter i've discovered only things running through the acessories or headlamp fuses work - ie Dome light - trunk release - headlights - strangely the door locks don't work - but you can hear what i presume to be a relay clicking on the driver side - hazard lights don't work - and the stereo as well - at first i believed it was the ignition switch - but this lead me to believe otherwise... so im at a total lose of what to do and have no car - please help

what your describing sounds like a fusible link has burned out.
im pretty sure you have 2 of these down on the starter & i think there are 2 more up along the firewall, but as i don't own a third gen or have access to a wiring diagram right now & can't tell you just where they are all located, do a search for fuse link & fusible link & see what you find.

replacing them with 14 gage fuse link should be good. if there are 2 wires on 1 fuse link, i would change it so each wire is on it's own link.
