Did the car start later after it cooled? Was there any clicking sound at all from the starter? You say no power to ignition or accessories, how did you verify this, using a volmeter?

here you are again Oldsguy sounds like it may be a bad connection if the battery and alternator is good but there were no ignition lights when you turn the key?

Check the connection between the fuseblock and underhood wiring harness sounds like the socket is loose or corroded.
