Default Has Power one moment, then No power the next

Yesterday I drove up to my driveway and stopped to open my gate. Not wanting my dog to run out i turn off my car then tied the dog up. I came back then just when the car was about to crank Everything completely shut down. NO power at ALL, nothing worked. Moments later the car retrieved power and i was able to crank up the engine. The next day when i was bout to leave for work it happened again. I had power to unlock the car but once i inserted the key all power was lost and had to wait a few moments.


Any help would be appreciated, also the battery is fairly new, i would say 6months old..

Also i read somewhere on the forum it might be a fail safe mode that the Z goes into.

You check all your connections to your battery? Sounds like a loose wire maybe. Check that then let us know if it continues.

The connections seem to be good. I checked everything and they don't seem to be out of place

Cases like this are usually battery connections. Wiggle those battery wires violently.
