Dead Hundy

[pcut]

'06 TLC, lifted, locked etc. etc. 145,000 miles, new starter. I turn it off and it totally goes dead- no lights, no click when I turn the key- nothing. I let it sit for 10-30 minutes and it starts right up.
WTF??
What says the Mud brain trust? Hasn't been too much of a problem since I start it up and head to the ski hill for the day and it starts up when I go home. Once the snow stops coming I'll have a lot of honey does which means Home Depot, WalMart etc and I won't have time to wait for it to fix itself.
Any ideas?

I would guess bad battery connection since no lights came on. Clean the posts and tighten the terminals.

Probably one of your Bussman Fuses are gone bad. It is some sort of thermal thing mounted on ceramic. Did you get an aftermarket starter?

Lights should still come on though.

I'd check your battery cables first. I bet you have a loose one.

Battery cables/terminals

The only time I have had that level of deadness was battery terminal/connection, as said above. Positive was just a little loose on the post.

The Mud brain trust wins again. Simple cleaning of the battery posts did the trick.
Thanks to all.
