Default Engine cut, no electrics now

Hey guys, wonder if anyone can help. (92 WRX) Driving to work this morning, out of the blue engine cuts out. Tried to restart but got no ignition lights. Found windows, blower motor and lights inop. Wash/wipe, radio, hazards and starter still ok. Am thinking towards ignition feed or earth fault somewhere. Last week had abs flicker on and off several times when indicating so might well be related (or my next headache!) Any thoughts welcome...!!

Could be a dodgy connection, but I assume you have checked ALL fuses, those under the bonnet AND those inside the car, under the panel, driver's side dash.

Hi, thanks for replies. Checked fuse's both under bonnet and in drivers footwell. Earth from batt to body seems good. If i could see a wiring diagram i could see what everything not working shares!

Update to anyone interested! Pulled half the dash apart, checked all wiring from Ecu (as x2 feeds missing) All wiring ok right out to engine fusebox. Power outside, but nothing at passenger fusebox, only thing between fuseboxes is alarm (Old Clifford concept 300) so had alarm specialist come out. 10mins later after bypassing immobiliser circuits, ignition lights on, engine starts etc......
