Coming down the entrance ramp onto the highway and the old wagon just quit, like someone flicked a light switch. Not nice. While waiting for the tow truck on the shoulder of the busy interstate, I only thought to check a few things, not that I could do much in that predicament. A quick visual inspection -- belts, alternator wire, the 2 fuel pump fuses. I disconnected/reconnected the battery because sometimes that resets things. I disconnected the AMM hoping for limp home mode. No go. Turn the key and it would crank but no sign of firing up.

Made me think it would be useful in the faq to have a checklist of things to run through when we break down in the middle of nowhere, or the middle of somewhere, for that matter. (maybe it's there and I didn't see it). I feel like I've missed some obvious things.

The shop can't look at it for a few days so if any magic bullets/potions come to mind, I'd be pleased to hear and try them. Thanks as always.
