I was driving my 95 TA when the guages started jumping around. A while later I smelled an awful smell. Right after that the engine started running rough and the lights started flickering and it just died. Now when I try to start it, there is no power to the ignition it seems. When I turn the key on, no lights on the dash light up or anything and won't even try to turn over. Everything else works, lights, radio, windows, etc. I checked for burnt fuses and wire and can't find anything wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
