[RESOLVED] electrical power loss

[cbpboss]

I was driving my 420a home after putting gas in it and out of no where the power cut out then back on the car was abut to shut off but the power came back on in time for it to keep on running.But when I got to the next inner section the power went out the car shut off, then came back on again. So hurried up and put it in neutral and started it back up. when I got to my apartment I went over a speed bump (slowly) then through a small water puddle then the car just died. I put it in Park/Neutral while trying to get it to start with no luck. I even pressed the brake pedal, I could here the starter relay clicking but the starter did not not click. Also twice the power went completely out. After going out for about 3 minutes and coming back on for the second time. I pressed the brake pedal and turned the ignition and it started right up as if it never had a problem. I got to my parking spot and turned it on and off about five times and it started right up. All help is greatly appreciated. One more thing where is the neutral safety switch located on the automatic. This is the second time in not even a week this has happened. The first time it happened I had turned the car off because I was checking my mail. And when I went to start it it gave the symptoms above minus the power going out. But did eventually start after 10-15 minutes, when I pressed the brake pedal and wiggled the shifter (Automatic) while turning the ignition switch.

check all your fuses...

When the car died did all your gauge lights come on like the key was in the acc position or did everything completely shut off as if the car was completely turned off?

Make sure the battery is tied down so the positive isn't touching metal when you accelerate/slow down.

Yes i checked all the fuses and they are all good. The battery is also secured, and yes all the gauges went off as if I had turned the car off. My turbo timer also rest it self to 30 seconds. I manually set the timer according to how it was driven prior to getting ready to turn the car off.

Whats up DSM fam? I found the problem when checking over my connections. The positive cable was not snug on the battery. The nut was as tight as it could be but it was not good enough so I went to O'Rileys Auto parts and bought post shims to give it a snug fit. Thanks for all the help and GOD Bless.
