Electrical problem
2001 Ford Escort 130k miles

Was driving my 2001 escort and was stopped at a light when all the lights, radio and power locks died. Headlights are still working but tail lights are out. Checked fuses and they seem fine. When I turned the car back on everything came back on for a second then shut down again. Any ideas?
