No bus is equivalent to computer failure or a piss poor connection. When working scan it and see if it has a code for memory loss or battery communication lost last drive cycle. If so check connections at PCM unplug inspect clean as mess just air pressure to blow out both sides. If the code list reads 02s multiple and implausible wheel speed ect your gonna need a PCM. Out right no communication is a dead give away. Usually heat and vibration is what causes shut down

I'm going to Auto zone right now to have them hook it up to diagnostics.. hopefully we can fix this before I get stuck out in the middle of nowhere..thank you for your input. I'll message back whenever I find what's wrong with it..

Just a quick question.. the blower motor switch went out on it about 2 weeks ago.. would that have anything to do with it.. if I changed out the resister would that effect the other?
