Driving down the highway, got off the exit ramp. An before I came to a stop the car died and hasn’t started since. Have power to everything except the instrument cluster. Need help

Is the timing belt still intact, #5 below?

 

Haven’t checked I didn’t think it would affect the instrument cluster? As of right now it’s not cranking or starting. I can bump the starter an it turns over headlights, heat, everything else seems to be fine

 

Perhaps, give a good look at the battery terminal connections to see if they are tight & not corroded?

 

Ok so I bypassed the ignition switch and got the car to start without hesitation as always. But I now have the problem if I start the car like this, the starter seems to be still engaged.
Ex:
black-yellow connected to black and white
single wire to white

touch single wire to BY/BW connection and car starts fine

disconnect to cut off car

how do I start the car like this and disengage the starter while still running?

 

Sounds like the ignition switch recall, replace it and it should be good
