URGENT HELP: my 764 Turbo 88 has ZERO electricity! 700 1988

Electrical problem here: I was driving my car, everything was OK and and had to slow down to make a turn and then...the car just went dead. No dashlight, no horn, no dome light, no click,click,click sound from the starter. I just got dead suddenly!

I changed the battery 3 weeks ago with an new Volvo original. The wirings to battery to starter to alternator seem to be well connected. I tried to boost the car, it ran for 6 seconds and boom, went dead again. No more light or sign of electricity what so ever. So I decided to let the car recharging itself while the boosting car was running. I let it charged for 10 minutes. I turned the key, no results at all. Again, no sign of electricity in the car.

So, is there a main fuse or relay or something else keeping me from getting the car back to normal? Because even with a dead alternator and drained new battery, I could be able to have at least some lights in the car while it is connected to a boosting car.

Please help me on that, I need my car to go to work tomorrow!
