Electrical problems in my Del Sol
The wierdest thing happened to my 1996 Sol the other day. When I shut off my engine I lost all electrical and the car would not start or crank. Almost like the battery is dead, but when I got out checked the fuses and got back in it started up fine. I did not see anything loose or did I really move anything in the fuse boxes, but it has been fine since. This is the second time this has happened. I searched and found nothing, so my only guess is a box that I noticed comming from the fuse box in the engine bay that looks like someone had a tuner box, alarm or something and replaced it with some kind of relay. My question is, what else could cause this, and does anyone know what this box could be (it is black with a voltage indicator and has a ground and a power cord comming from the fuse box)?

As ridiculous as this may sound, check your battery connections. I encountered a similar situation w/ my sol and I couldn't find anything wrong, until I pulled the negative battery cable right off. It wasn't tightened.

make sure your wires are firmly connected to the terminal connectors, had this problem on a highway trip, wasn't a very evident problem at first, but the terminal connector was arcing to the cable, and upon crank, would kill all power to the car, until I messed with the cables, then I saw the burn marks it made.

Re: (slowcivic2k)
I thought the same thing, but when I check the wires they are very secure, but thanks for the info. Any thing else that would cause this?

Check the BLK/YEL wire going to the starter, they tend to walk themselves loose and can cause no start conditions as well. It has a speaker clip type connector with a rubber boot over top of it, its the smallest gauge wire running to it.
