Default Drove over a bump and everything but headlights died

Coming home from my gf's house last night i was just getting off the hwy a few minutes later down the road i hit a bump in the road, didnt feel like that big of a a bump but it made my deck skipp. Right at that point the radio powered off dash lights whent out and complete loss of power. My headlights were still working so i quickly pull over to the side and check over my fuses, they all checked out.


So keys in turned to ignition on ii,

- dash lights dont come on
- interior lights are bright and so are the headlights

I have been experianceing dash lights dimming for the past little few months on and off, mostly when it gets humid and cold out.

ideas or common breakdowns on this?

any and all advice is well appreciated, Thanks

Did any tripod looking alien crafts rise from the ground at the same time by chance? If so you've got more to worry about.

Battery cables/terminals loose or corroded? Alt. wire loose or disconnected?

Are you able to restart the car?

Is your intake by your battery? Did you short out the intake on the + of the battery?

Check your fuses both inside and out in under the hood.

Hey guys thanks for the help, i always freak out when things happen unexpectantly with the car, due to my still growing knowledge on cars hehe.

Found the culprit, was the 50amp ecu fuse under the hood, replaced it for $2 ecu's not throwing any codes, so im still unclear as to what caused it to blow but so far so good

Thanks again
Lucas
