Default 2005 Pontiac Bonneville Gxp 4.6L #2

I was driving on the highway and it just cut off , no power or dash lights , wont even attempt to start. I was thinking a failed alternator or dead battery , anybody else have any solutions?

You checked the battery connections/made sure they were all tight?

No lights? Radio? Nothing? Why the carpet?

Me thinks you have a really bad battery. I wouldn't trust autozone 'expertise' as far as I could throw it. If you can, use another car to run jumper cables to your bad battery. If the car starts and operates normally, I'd say its the battery.

BTW, your door windows are controlled by computer modules. If they don't receive the proper operating voltage, they won't work at all to prevent damage to the module.
