So about a mile away from the house this morning I noticed my windows wouldn't go down, my instrumentppanel wasn't working and also the sunroof was out of commission. The car made the hour drive to work and now it won't start. The wierd part is all of my lights worked just ffine until I pulled into the parking lot at work when they all shut off. I haven't done anything new or changed anythingrrecentlysso I'm kind of at a lossoon this one. Any help you have would be great

While investigating I re pulled the electrical socket that plugs into the alternator and the inside of it started to fall apart I think my short might be in that plug because the alternator itself was extremely hot. So off to the junk yard after work to get a new plug.
