This is the Eddie Bauer Edition Explorer. Both turning signals had quit working and I was told that if the flasher was working then it was probably a bad switch. So, the next time I got in the vehicle I turned on the flashers and they flashed a couple of times and then everything went out. Now no power to anything at all. Won't start nothing. What could have happened to cause this?

This can be a bad battery or a bad connection at the battery. I would remove the battery and take it to the auto part store for testing. Here is a guide to help you if it is a bad connection at the cables.
