Default Car won't start

So my car has been turbo for about 6 months now and I haven't had any issues. It's been running really wel and hasn't led me to worry about its driveability.

Today while driving my EPS light started flickering until it was fully lit, then followed the abs light. At this point my ears were perked up and about a half mile later the cluster went dark and almost immediately after the car started running like crap, like it wasn't getting enough fuel, I quickly parked and shut the car off not wanting to hurt anything. Once it was off I turned the ignition back on and everything appeared normal, but when I went to start it just clicked once and that was it. I tried again and noticed the fuel pump didn't prime like normal. I then push started the car and got it back on but running like crap, as soon as I left the parking lot the car shut off so I quickly popped the clutch, it started again and then immediately shut off.

I really have no idea what it could be and thought it was super odd. Any help is appreciated.

This might be rudimentary but have you checked to see if the alternator is charging the battery? I had my alternator go out on me while I was driving and the first thing that happened was the EPS light came on then the ABS light. To check just put a multimeter to the battery when the car is on. Should read ~14v

Agreed, sounds like the charging system is not working.

I actually just got the car home, I noticed that when I moved the alternator wiring the voltage would change a decent amount. I'm gonna pull the alternator this week and have it tested and hopefully replace the corroted wire.

Does anyone by chance know if the wiring is apart of The main harness or a easily ordered part?
