ok, my battery is like 1 year old, my question is this...3 times now after 1300 miles my car has randomly just shut off instantly and looses all power, just like pulling the battery from the car, the clock resets to 12:00...
seem's lik emy battery could have a short in it, anyway anybody have any input on this....it's just confusing as the car runs perfectly with no problem's, just that...

i tightened the positive cable very tight, and i believe i slightly bent the + post when i tightened it...could i have broke something in the battery?..
again it only happend 3 times, so i never really cared to worry abou *** as when it has happened, it started right back up and was fine...

any thoughts?

Check the connections at the MEGA fuse for the alternator and battery cable.

ok, been done this morning..nothing was loose or had any corrosion on it, which makes me think my battery could have a dead cell or something in it...
any other suggestions...?

Could be corrosion at the large square connector on the drivers side under the intake hose.

A large square black connector that is held together with a 10 mm bolt. You have it under there. It is above the frame rail directly under the intake hose.
