My vehicle shut off while driving. Will not start now. Nothing when you crank it over. Have all dash lights. All interior lights. There are dashes through the digital odometer.

This could be a couple of things but the most likely is the crank sensor has failed. However, let's start with this guide that covers this issue:

Next we need to pull a plug and hold it against the block and crank the engine to see if there is a spark. Here is a guide that gets into the crank sensor which is what I suspect the issue is:

Lastly, I attached the process below on how to replace it from the manual. Let's run through this material and go from there.

Thanks
