Car quit while driving.
No power to accessories, fuel pump, ignition switch, turn signals, hazard flashers, radio, heater fan, starter solenoid.
Battery seems ok, alternator was bad.
HELP! PLS.

Check the fusible link off the starter motor. It may also efect the alternator.

You need to find the feed to the ignition switch and trace it back to the battery. Sounds like you have a break somewhere.
