You're getting reamed.
While in there, replace seals and water pump (assuming it too is aged). Everything. Much cheaper in the long run. Entire job--belts, seals, tensioner (if needed, and probably does if belt broke), and new water pump should be under 3.5 hours shop time, IIRC.
As others have said, list probably in following order: twist/check incabin fuses, unplug/plug FPR, check main engine compartment fuse. If no luck, CPS is next likely problem (but that usually will give some failing warnings--occasional cutting out) before quitting completely. Other suspects include loose ground or loose connection in ignition switch, failed computer and, especially this time of year, failing/failed prepump creating vacuum in fuel line. Others would include power stage, but I've never experienced a problem there in 25 years (though probably will now that I've said it).
