Ok, about a month ago I get in my car(96LS) and it seemed as if the battery was dead. I popped my hood to check loose terminals but everything was good. I get back in my car and all of the sudden... it has power again.

It was early in the mornin so I kinda forgot about it. Then it happened again. I got out of the car and forgot to pop the hood. When I opened the door again it was beeping, ya know... when your key is in the ignition? So I got in and it had power?!

So, again, I forgot about it until it happened to me this morning. So this time, I just opened and shut my door without getting out and I got power back.

Also, my CEL has been on for an o2 sensor. After my car loses power the CEL goes off for a few days then comes back on. My clock resets and everthing.

And about 2 weeks ago I flashed my brights and for that split second my brights were on, my car lost power.

I dont know whats going on! I dont know anything about electrical stuff. Any help or advice would be great! Thanks guys!

 

Bump! Anybody?

 

Sounds like there could be a loose or corroded clamp on the battery terminal.

Or, one of the battery cables is actually broken.

Either way, you are losing all power from the battery at times, which resets the CEL and the radio. Recheck those terminals.

 

I replaced the terminal clamps not too long ago. I`ll check them anyway though.
