1999 Intrepid - Electrical system immobilized

I have a 1999 Intrepid and appear to be in some big trouble. I went
out this morning and the electrical system appears to be disabled. The
lights don't go on inside or out. I can't even open my trunk with
the key. The red light on the top of the dash is flashing on and
off. The battery is new and so is the alternator.

Can anyone tell me what might have happened and what I can do to reset
the electrical system?

Thanks in advance

I assume you mean you can't open the trunk with the remote.

To reset the electrical system, disconnect the negative jump post (the
main vehicle ground), located on the passenger side strut tower for 15
minutes and then reconnect it. Takes a 15 mmm wrench.

I know you said you have a new battery, but can you check the battery
voltage with a meter (put the leads on the pos. and neg. jump posts)?
Once you post back with that, we can go from there.

The red lite flashing at the top of the dash, is that an alarm lite telling
you that the alarm went off? does this vehicle have the gray skim key?
