2007 RX8 GT Troubleshooting
Hey guys. I've had it rough this week. (Fixed an alternator in an Altima for 4 hours in the rain), and now a new problem has arisen. My 2007 RX8 GT was in great condition, everything worked great, and no indicators ever displayed on my dash. However, as I was driving to work today my car just "out of the blue" died on me. There was no rough idling or anything mechanically related to the failure, but all of the electronics just shut off. I tried turning my key over to start my car, but absolutely nothing would turn on. No dash lights, accessories, and there was no clicking noise from the starter. Had to roll the car all of the way to my grandma's house and leave it there. Any help/advice??

Yes. Unfortunately all of the fuses were good. I was hoping for a quick fix. If there was any way to crank it up, I'd just take it to the dealership to have things checked out. I don't really want to have to tow my '8' 60 miles haha.

Update: There was a shortage in the electrical system. One of my wires connecting to my amp for my stereo system came off. Once the wire came off, it was grounding itself on the amp case, causing the ignition fuse to blow every time I turned the key. BOOM.
