I was driving through a parking lot when my car suddenly quit. No noise, no pop, nothing. it just shut down. All electrical systems are dead except for my headlights, horn, and hatch release. turning the key does nothing, the gauges are dead and so are the windows and hatch motor. the battery is good, the connections are good, and i obviously have good voltage as the headlights are nice and bright. I just had to have it towed home and now i dont know where to begin. I tried a search but to no avail. Is there a fusable link somewhere that could cause this? All underdash fuses are intact. My windows are down, and my hatch is open and i cant even lock up my car. This is a very serious problem as this is my only car. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I really need to fix this soon because the car is outdoors with the windows down and the hatch up!

 

Yes.

The fusable links come off of the starter. There are two main power circuits going into the cabin, both with fuseable links.

A blown link will stretch when you pull on it.

 

but the interior lights come on when i open the door. wouldnt a fuseable link kill them too?

 

It's worth a look. I know there are two seperate power feeds into the cabin. I am not sure about what controls what.... I just remember having to splice the two circuits back to the starter after my motor swap.
