Please help electrical issue
I have a stock 01 z28 a4 and I parked it after driving it last night and everything worked fine. This morning I woke up and the lights don't flash with keyless entry, the radio doesn't work or light up and the instrument cluster is like dead nothing works or lights up. Any idea what's goin on?

I had almost the exact same issue and my alternator crapped the bed......It never showed any sign of failing just got in the car and everything electrical was acting crazy. There was a direct short inside my alternator.....You can unhook the power cable going to the alternator and if everything starts acting normal, buy an alternator.

I have checked everything that y'all have suggested and eveything looks fine. I also just noticed my trunk won't pop and my asr will not work either. I think it might be time for a visit to Chevrolet
