Default ep3 si shut off while driving *help*

year: 2003
make : honda
model: civic
sub model: SI
Engine: K20a3

hi everyone so last night i went out to get something to eat, as i was driving i got up to 50 mph and put the cruise control on since it was a long road. after that there was a turning car so i pushed the cancel cruise button and the car did this little studder all dash lights flashed but car stayed on. i thought not much of it so after the car turned i re engaged cruise control and when i did so all dash lights flashed once and car shut off. the car did not restart it will not crank, it will not do anything when you put the key in and turn it all the way there is nothing but silence.

the only things on the car that work is the horn, the high and low beams, interior dome lights, my key less entry system (stock), 4 way flashers, key left in ignition noise works and headlights left on noise works.

this car was working great hours before. i have never had a issue and i have only replaced normal maintenance items, spark plugs, oil etc. i have checked all fuses, and tomorrow the alternator and battery will be taken to oreilly to be checked even though im sure they are fine.

there was no mis-fire, no early signs, car had no CEL's, car was running properly and not running in safe or limp mode.

if anyone has any light to shine on my issue please do. every suggestion will be considered i just need help from someone somewhere this is my only mode of transportation and i hate to depend on others.

You definitely have a nasty wiring issue... I would download the PDF helms manual or seriously pay a shop to do it if you are not good with electrical. It sucks but it's honest. Could be as simple as a bad ground but you won't know where till you start testing and searching.
