Strange-acting car (not starting)
Strange acting car............ Went out to start my bird this morning, lights came on as normal when getting into the car, put in the key and when I attempted to start it everything just died - nothing was working. Turned off the key and the seatbelt light came on and stayed on, turned key to try to start and nothing.
Popped the hood and got out of car - check the battery and wiring and everything looked OK.
Got back into car, lights now came on as usual and the car started right up.
Drove into work, stopping at the gas station to fill up and no further problems
Kinda strange - never have had any problems with this car, bought it new in December of 98 and it is my DD
Basically stock, only have SFC's and LS6 intake on 99 TA WS6 - do have sequential taillights also. New battery in December of 2004(original battery was finally starting to go).
Anybody got an idea what may be the problem here, gonna go through it this weekend but I'm kinda??

I would double and triple check all battery connections, as well as the main ground. Sometimes it can vibrate loose just enough to be a problem when it feels like it. Also make sure none of the wires are shorting out in the steering column. The main wire from the ignition switch can do this.
that stuff happens every now and then, my dad's 01 jimmy did this a few months ago but its in really nice condition low miles and it started right up after he checked out the battery
