I was driving my car for about an hour, and it just abruptly quit, no sputter, no jerk, as if I pulled the key out going down the road. I try to turn it on, but nothing comes on, no headlights, no dash lights, no power windows. The connections were fine, the battery was reading 13.13v. Weird thing, the interior lights worked, the glove compartment light worked, the brake lights worked, and the power mirror lights worked, that's all that I thought about checking. I checked for fuses but may have missed a few, so if it could be a fuse tell me anyway. I tried jumping it, that didn't help at all, tried changing the battery... nope... the only things that worked to my knowledge are what was listed above. Please help.
