Has anyone ever herd of this!!!!
today i was driving and all of a sudden my lights turned off , my radio turned off , and my motor shut off with a CEL.....troubleshooting narrowed it down to my under hood fuse box!!!!!!!!! i could wiggle the ground wire that goes into the fuse box and the car lights would go on and off. has anyone ever experienced this?

Yeah, maybe it has something to do with a loose wire in the dizzy too becase this kind of thing happened to my friend the other day, but no CEL just turned off. I don't know, but it is worth a shot.

naw i tried tightening the ground wire down , it was tight
its the contact inside the fuse box . the wire looks really good . if i take the wire off and pry the little metal thing up on the box it works...so i know its the box . how wierd is that!

never heard of that problem, but atleast you figured it out. Maybe you need some rotas on your hatch, i heard that by putting rotas on a car you wont have any problems

umm there arent any ground wires in you fuse box... they're all (+). it's no suprise that you electrical stuff went nuts. your symptoms actually sound like you had a bad altenator. good thing it was an easy fix tho

I had that happen in a 1974 Firebird I used to own. It's pretty scary as your riding down the road, and all of a sudden your car shuts off.
