Possible reasons for turning off all electrical equipment on a car:

1. Battery problems

*Weak battery
*Dead battery
* Battery terminal corrosion
*Poor battery cable connection

2. Problems with the generator

* Faulty generator
* Worn alternator belt
* Voltage regulator problems

3. Problems with electrical wiring

*Damaged or loose wires
* Poor connections
* Electrical system overload

4. Main switch malfunction

*Burnt main switch
* Poor connection at main switch

5. Problems with the car computer

* Faulty ECU (electronic control unit)
* ECU software failures

6. Short circuit

* A short circuit in the electrical system may cause all electrical power to shut down to protect against damage.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the battery: Measure the battery voltage using a voltmeter or multimeter. The battery should produce about 12.6V when off and over 13V when the engine is running.
2. Check the generator: Measure the voltage at the generator output. It should be about 14 V with the engine running and electrical consumers turned on.
3. Check electrical wiring: Visually inspect wires and connectors for damage or looseness.
4. Check the main switch: Reset the main switch and check if the power is restored.
5. Contact a Diagnostician: If you cannot determine the problem yourself, contact a qualified automotive diagnostician for further diagnosis and repair.
