JUst happened today, when I went to start it I heard click and all lights went out. no power in the car. I switched batteries and same problem. I don't know if it could be a ignition switch problem, or something else. the fan/fuel controller by the overflow bottle clicks like crazy, and the check engine light flashes faintly after the key is turned off. any suggestions?

may also be a bad starter take a mallet and give the starter a couple of whacks it may just knock some dust out of it and get it to start

make sure the battery terminals are clean and not broken.

May be your module by the fas and radiator went out. it happens. check that too. I believe it controls the fuel pump also

The CCRM won't interfere with an engine's ability to turn-over (it can affect it's ability to catch however).

I like the primary electrical system (battery, batt cables, grounds, etc) testing/checking idea. It's where I'd start too.

happened to me too when I turned the stereo on. I cleaned off some (some) ground connections, charged the battery, drove it a little. Then my Torque converter shudder started, car is now parked. The luck.
