Yesterday I'm driving my 95 MTX and had no problems. Arrived at our destination and shut the car off. Came out from the store and had no power. Nothing. No lights, no radio, no power whatsoever. Of course the car would not start.
I began to think, another major electrical problem. I just put down $3000 to fix an electrical problem on this car.
Anyways, tow guy comes and tries to give me a jump. Nothing again. Still would not charge. The moment he began to move the connectors on the battery terminal, a spark and the power came back on. I was able to start the car and off we went.
I then noticed that my headlight (real HID's) would flash off and on when I turn on my turn signals. It was dark so I could notice this. Thus, my thoughts were that my HID's were causing a major drain on the battery (Red top-brand new 3 months old).
I then took the car on the highway afraid to turn the car off. I could feel the car sputtering as if it wanted to shut off. The HID's would flash off and on when I turned on the turn signals to switch lanes.
The moment I got home and shut the car off. No power. Nothing. Nada. I thought I would let it sit for the night and come back out in the morning to see if it corrected itself. Still Nothing, Nada.
Disconnected the positive battery terminal connector and re-connected it and now I have power again. That is until I went to start it up and now no power at all.
Bad battery terminal or major electrical problem? Tow truck guy says it the battery terminal connector and they need to be replaced because it's preventing power flow. The terminal connectors are look brand new. In fact the positive terminal connector is brand new so says the shop that did my electrical work.
Please help.
