Hello, I have a 1989 Ford Bronco. Approx. 2 days ago, I went to start it and when turning the key in the ignition, everything shut down when it reached the point where it starts. No electricity in the car at all, and car won't start. I waiting approx 10 minutes, and it started. Today (after driving maybe 30 miles or so on highway) I turned off the car and attempted to start it 15 minutes later, and it happened again. This time, it seems like its dead for good.

Keep in mind, I do have a somewhat powerful stereo system in the car (but I don't think that would be the problem)

Please let me know what you think, as I need to see what I can do as quickly as possible.

Thank You,

Mike M.

Is there anything that I am able to do from my home? I currently lack the funds to have it brought to a service center to have things checked.
