View Full Version : random loss of power

Car was at operating temp when I stopped at a gas station. Went to start the car up and it fired right up. About 10 seconds later the power (electric) shuts off and all of the gauges get stuck in their current position. I popped the hood and checked the electrical connections and they all looked good. After a few tries to start the car, power comes on and it fires right up. Gauges do their reset thing, I put the car in drive and after about 10 feet of driving the car shuts off again (no power to anything in the cabin). I let the car sit for about 30 seconds and it fires up, no problems. I got my car home and went out to run a few errands and see if the problem persists and I haven't had any issues since then.

Anyone have any ideas? It's not throwing any codes.

check the battery terminals and wires for corrosion and whatnot

Negative terminal is a bit rusted over, I'll hit it with the wire brush in the morning. Hopefully that will fix the issue. Thanks!
