'Service engine soon' light- then no headlights!

Driving home this evening, my check engine light came on and after a few minutes my headlights and gauge cluster suddenly do dark. No chime from the headlight switch when I shut the engine off with the lights in the 'on' position either. Shows 'Code 32'... Any ideas??

No power to rear hatch, rear interior light, headlights, fog lights. Just replaced headlight switch and no help.

You blew the Fusible Link located at the Starter Solenoid.

Found it. The wire running through the firewall had rubbed through its insulation and grounded out. Lights work find now.
