Default good battery and alternator no electrical at all

I have a 2003 Honda Civic Ex coupe the lights started flickering and the gauges stopped working while i was driving then they flickered again and my gauges completely shut off then the car completely shuts down. i had the battery and alternator tested both are good but i cant even get the headlights or anything to work, any ideas why its not working will be a great help

If the car doesn't want to run, you either have a short, a possible issue with the ECU, or maybe even a blown fuse.
