No Electrics

Jan 30, 2008 7:33PM PST

Was just driving down the road and all the lights on the dash started flashing, the engine started stuttering, then the engine cut out. When I try to start it the engine will try and start but won't actually start as none of the electrics are working.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Is it old? How about alternator or computer module?

you need to tell us what kind of car this is first before we can give you some solid answers...
