Default Having very weird electrial problem!

While im driving all the dash electrical with just shut off, a/c,radio,dash lights,etc. After a few minutes then it will come back on. What kind of a problem am i looking at here, can it be a faulty fuse or something else?

You might also want to check that you are not running into a loose ground wires somewhere. I know this is kinda like finding a needle in the hay-stack, but its usually a simple and cheap fix.

I have had this happen to me in my old k-1500 blazer and I basically had the same symptoms as you. This is what it turned out to be. I ended up finding the wire was loosely making contact, and then randomly losing it causing the short.

Just an idea....

I was thinking the same exact thing.

Chris, Check the connections of + or - on your little Braille battery. Remeber it was sitting on top of styrofoam? Maybe it shifted and one of the terminals are lose. It happened to me when I installed the Optima Battery. Check it before you leave work.
