When I turn on the key all electricity turns off (completely), no sounds-nothing-no electricity, and off course it does not start. When I turn the key off there are a number of clicking sounds, after a number of minutes it seemed to be OK again. Meaning the dome light worked again as did the locks. I turn the key on and every things goes off-immediately, and the process starts over. I only tried this twice. This started after we arrived at our vacation destination so it is sitting-dead-in a parking garage.

The battery was dead (sudden death, as it seemed to work fine right up to the end). Also replaced the belt as it would slip mightily upon start up.
