Car "resets" while driving? Here lately i have been noticing my car doing something very odd....have no clue what is causing it.
Sometimes it will happen when i am driving hard and come to a stop quickly, and or like today, was driving, slowed down for a right hand curve, speed up and it does it again. This is what it does....
When this happens....my sensor lights will all light up and then go off as if the car had been restarted or something...but the car never died........it is still running and i am still driving when this happens. Like a "on the fly" reset......
Sounds stupid i know....but this is really starting to bother me. I notice it more on hard stopping or during a sharp turn..........

check your battery, its very common for the front tab to break on the holddown/tank, and the battery to rock just enough to arc on the AC canister or bracket, causing what you describe.
secure the battery, and/or insulate the exposed terminal on the + battery cable, and im 90% sure that will fix the problem.
