Started my 2004 Ford Expedition and battery light came on. As I drove the light would flicker randomly and then go off. About a minute later the light came back on again. I did not turn the radio,wipers even lights in fear I would drain the battery completely. I made it to Sears and they tested the battery and said no issues with it. As I drove home there was less flicker of the battery light and it stayed lit. The battery gauge began to drop from half way(normal) to L slowly. Then my ABS light came on. The battery continued to drain as I lost all lights on my control panel and barely made it into the driveway. I turned off the engine. It never did completely stall. I tried to restart it moments later and the panel lights light up momentarily and it is dead now. PS had Sears check the fuse to battery too-checked out fine.

Hello You will have to reset your fuel pump switch located passenger side right foot kick panel when you press it it should stay down if this does not work your probably looking at a fuel pump not working.
I assume that when you say all the lights came on ... refers to all the dashboard lights and NOT your headlight/tail lights? I found the following reference for a 2013 Ford Focus:
On my way home on the freeway, my oil & battery light started flickering on and off at the same time and as it did the car was stalling out. I put my 4-way flashers on, slowed down and moved to the right lane as a safety measure. After another few miles both lights came on and stayed on and the car shut down. I pulled over to the berm, waited a few minutes, tried starting, it started and drove home with no issues. I drove to work the next day with no issues. On the way home things started happening again, the car shut down, but this time after waiting a few minutes the car never started. I had it towed to the dealer and they found that a wiring harness was up against the throttle body and wore through the protective insulating tape, then the wires causing the problem.
Another cause might be that a relay in the fuse/relay box under the hood broke
Good luck in your troubleshooting
when you have a dead battery and jump start you half to drive the vehicle for 10 to20 miles to allow the altinator to recharge the battery. if this dont work then i would have the altinator checked to see if it is charging ,your local auto parts store will do this for free
