So what I originally thought was a battery problem turns out to be something else.
Here's the deal:
Intermittent (at best). No rhyme nor reason as to when it happens. Starts normally about 1/2 the time.
Turn the key, plenty of juice, turn to start, solenoid clicks and entire electrical goes off. No lights, clock resets, radio anti-theft engages, NO JUICE TO ANYTHING for about 5-30 seconds then everything comes back on.
There's then a 50/50 chance it will or won't start the next time you try. I put a voltmeter on the battery and had the better half crank and whether it starts or not the battery never drops below 11.5v or so.
Relays anyone? What's going on here?
Thanks again,
