2008 Sebring, no power
No power anywhere, 2008 Chrysler sebring what could cause this? Was driving pulling in the driveway and car shut off, just as if you turned the key off. Now I have no power to everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
A couple thoughts that I have is possibly ignition switch or TIPM.
Note: Battery is good, alternator is working, put a charger on just to make sure. Even with the charger on no power and checked cables for corrosion, continuity.

How was it determined the battery is good?
Have all of the fuses under the hood been checked?
Is there a bump at the end of the driveway that may have dislodged something or possibly damaged a cell or internal connection in the battery? The suddenness of the failure indicates to me a mechanical or connection issue.
What is the voltage reading at the remote battery posts in the engine compartment (these are directly connected to the battery)? If the battery is good and the cable connections are clean and secure, there should be a reading of between 12.2 to 12.6 volts.
Once it is determined there is sufficient voltage at the remote posts diagnosing can move forward. In other words, it is a bit soon to be suspecting the ignition switch or TIPM. For example, once voltage has been confirmed at the remote posts, does pushing the steering wheel horn pad sound the horn? Does opening a door light the interior lamps? Does pressing the 'unlock' on the keyfob unlock the driver door, light interior lamps and light the headlamps?
