I have a problem with my cars electrical. While driving on Sunday I noticed my Brake, Radiator, and Battery light flickering on and off.. I had this problem before, I thought I had fixed it by tightning the battery terminals. Which were a little loose. Today I start looking around for loose grounds etc I find none. Batt, Alt, Starter all seemed OK. Putting a volt meter on the batt terminal yields me 12.5v. I go inside the car and see if I can start it. Everything powers up, I go to turn it over and I hear a pop. All power lost, now when I check the volt meter the batt still says 12.5v at the terminal. But at the connector to the terminal I get a very low reading of 1.4v. The connector still feels very tight. And when I check the volts at the Atl. I get the same reading of 1.4v. Which changed from 12.5v before I tried to start the car. I'm at a loss hear, I'm not sure what to check now. My fuses all seem to be OK. But I guess thats possibility.
Thanks for any and all input.
