Car wont start! '01 Pontiac Montana (V6?)

Post Body

Hello, so my car was acting real funny last night. The headlights were dimming and then they just turned off. Then they turned back on, along with every other light on my dash, and my speedometer started going crazy. It was telling me I was going upwards of 80mph.

I got home and then my car started revving up some more so I just turned it off. The speedometer is now stuck at 20mph, and the car wont start. There are no lights that will turn on or any sounds of the car starting. I have tried to charge my battery which resulted in the check engine light coming on when I turn the ignition, but nothing else.

Some research reveals an issue with my alternator (but will that cause the car to not completely turn on?), or maybe an issue with the fusible link wires, which I can not locate.

I would appreciate any advice!
