Default 98 Accord EX Starting Issue

Hey there, I have a 98 accord 3 litre vtec that drive me to school this morning, then when I parked and turned it off, I lost all power. I then got a boost from a friend, no power until about 10 seconds then I could turn it over. I then drove home no problem, turned it off. Put the key back in and turned on my heat and all dash lights as normal and started over, figured nothing was wrong turned it off went inside. Couple hours later went to go to work and no power whatsoever.. Weird part is that my clock has power when nothing else does.. Only thing that will, until I turn the key past accessories, and if I press my brake pedal. Steering wheel and brake pedal lock and get tense after I lose power, so confused

check your battery connections .. a corroding battery will leak acid which could put a film arround battery posts causing connection loss

Exactly^ turn the key on and cautiously wiggle the battery connections. Should turn on
