Well I just got my car back for the mechanic I had him put on some new tips and seal up my signal lights where there was water coming in no biggie right? Well Im on the highway went to signal and it hesitated to blink and at the same time my radio was going on and off. THEN my RPM, speedomotor gauge,battery gauge, odamoter wasnt working while I was driving. Shut the car off and now it wont start. So guys what can it be? HELP

Had some what of the same problem, driving down the interstate and all my gauges went dead, car was still running pulled over and shut the car off and let it sit for a minute. Tried to restart the car and nothing, so I started checking fuses & ext, none blown so I started looking at the relays ( the ones in the engine compartment ) and it seemed that one of them, don't remember the specific one, had somehow work loose so I pushed it back down and made sure it was in all the way and bam car started and no problems since. Hope you get your problem fixed that easy.

He may have disconnected the battery while working on your car and now you have a loose connection. Call him, ask him EXACTLY what wires he may have disconnected. Good Luck.
