How did you check the alternator? Also if the the battery and alternator is good, you shouldnt loose all power.
Scenarion in my head is, alternator went poop and grounded itself out, then blew the main chassis fuse so everything in the car is dead.

I checked the fuseable links and are fine.. I checked the wires out of the PCM going in and going out of the fues box (under the hood). Battery tested 12.8 volts. Alt is getting power. On the inside driver side kick panel there is another fuse box and 4 relays. There are 2 sides to the fuse box the left ahd side there is no power what so ever, on the right side the first 4 don't light up and the rest do. I took out the 4 relays and I am getting power to them. 2 of the relays have to do with the ignition I ran a wire from the Ignition relay (power) to the ignition control fuse (has no power) and was able to light up his dash and raised his windows oh also replaced the ignition relays and still did not help http://laredoperformance.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug03.gif So all in all it's not the battery and it's not the alternator. It's some where inside the car in that kick panel

ok calm the fuck down.
Hes a really cheap and easy way to test your ALT.
While the car is running loosen the ground terminal on the battery.
Then remove it. If the car dies at the same time, your ALT (98% sure) is toast.
if it stays running youve got another problem.
Unless of course you cant get it to run at all in the first place, jack someone elses battery to test it.
I would tell you to use a voltmeter but that might be a pita for your sit.

^^^ he did post that his car wont turn over.
i would say its the main engine fuse too its a green square fuse that clips into the fuse box in the engine bay.
also sounds stupid but check all your grounds in the engine bay (my fc had a bad ground in the engine bay and when it got a bit loose the moter would just shut down took me an afternoon in a parking lot to figure it out but after fixing the ground i never had the problem again man.
best of luck let me know how it works out
