Last night when I was driving all my electrical ( interior lights, radio, and headlights) shut off and back on for a split second. Happened a good 5 times last night in the span of 15 minutes of driving.

Just an uneducated guess, could it be a faulty fuse?

or maybe a bad/broken/loose grounding point. I wouldn't say bad fuse they usually just work or just fail not much in between. I also wouldn't think fuse just because of how it is everything at once and not just one thing.

My car went nuts last night! I have to take it in soon! It cut out on me 4 times in 10 seconds. Seems to only happen at night...

seems too only happen at night?! well, we're getting close to halloween... =)

on a serious note, silvermist had the same issue...when we went drag racing and he launched his car off the line, all hell broke loose (literally) and his instrument panel went black...car kept moving tho...I think he turned off the car after that run and everything came back on right after. I haven't heard him say anything more about it happening again tho.

It was pouring last night and my car wouldn't even start.. So pissed! This morning I checked the battery. Negative terminal loose after my BPV install. I guess I was too excited to test drive I just threw it on quickkkkly..
