not sure if electrical or not. engine has been running fine, then died without warning. won't start.when engine died oil pressure indicator shut off like all console gauges do when ignition is turned off and has not come back on. at the same time brake pedal acts as if the ignition is off, but it is on. one more: after turning off ignition and on again radio acted as if battery was disconnected. battery is fine. all other gauges working fine. cannot hear fuel pump turn on with ignition. fuel pump relay is fine. ideas?

Hi roncabman,

Thank you for the donation.

Symptoms indicates it is an electrical fault and the most likely suspect is the ignition switch. Get the swich checked for continuity.
