Car died and won't start

Ok so after some driving today my car died while going around 50km/h. Lost power steering, speedo went to 0, /!\ came on along with all of my other warning lights and the trac off light flashing. After coasting to the side of the road I let it sit for a couple minutes before trying to start it. It was turning over but not starting. One thing I noticed was with the key in the on position all my warning lights were on like normal except the check engine light was not on at all and the TRAC off continued to flash when it usually flashes once and goes out.

I haven't checked the solder connections on the cluster yet because I just touched them up last year so I don't think that is the problem. I'm thinking lost power to the ECU? with a bad ground, or maybe fuel problem, fuel pump most likely. I'm leaning towards ECU trouble though. Any suggestions?

Thanks
