Default Help!

Hi, everybody! I'm brand new to this site and have only had my 2003 Z-06 for 3 month. I've been driving it on the weekends, and it's awesome.
Went to go for a drive last night, got to the end of the street(about 1/8 mile) then everything went wrong, the traction control light came on, the fuel gauge went to zero, water temp. gauge pegged passed 260deg., check engine light came on, check gauges, DIC lite up with reduced engine power and service engine soon, and the drivers window will not go up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Battery shows over 12 volts, all fuses were good except the 20amp for the cig ltr, and car will not start at all.

Doesn't crank, won't turn over at all. Can't get codes-tried but the PM will not communicate. Have a Snap-on scanner and an Actron AutoScanner Plus.

I found the problem! Moisture causing ground issues, we had rain here in Va. about 3 days ago. I scanned the newby, and frequently asked questions sections, then broke out a room dryer stuck it in the car for an hour, and presto! everything came back. Will be kicking the mustang out of the garage and doing grounding point up grades.
