Icon2 1999 Honda Accord Electrical Issue

Hello,

I was driving my 1999 Accord down the road and heard a small pop. After hearing the pop the cars electrical system completely failed on me and the car shut off. Nothing electrically in the car works including that little digital clock in the dash that stays on 24/7. I checked the battery connections and they are tight and free of corrosion. Could it be a fuse of some sort? If so which one? If it isn't a fuse what could it be?

This has never happened before and I am stumped. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Sounds like a short, that ultimately(hopefully) blew a main fuse. check under your dash and in your engine compartment for physical signs of shorting wires.

If you heard the sound from a specific spot, that wasn't a fuse blowing, start there. hopefully the fuse(s) did it's job and the short would just need to be repaired - new fuse.
