HELP (electricity problem)
HELP (electricity problem) My car has been running fine. Only thing i know i need to change is my BCM b/c of my radio/power windows intermittently shutting off.
So here is what happened:
Car was working fine this morning...
I go to start it, it cranks up like normal, then stays on for about 1 second then my car shuts off along with all the electronics. There is absolutely no electricity coming into my car. No lights will come one, nothing power works, alarm won't work right, putting key in won't make the beeping sound, nothing inside the car itself will work. The battery is good and all checked the fuses in the engine compartment. Except i don't know how to check those big square ones.
Anyone have any idea what happened to my car?

Yup, good guess.
It was actually the acc. battery terminal that is right next to the fuse boxes. It was not getting a good connection. I undid the bolt a couple of times and tightened it down and fixed everything after a couple of trails.
What confused me was that i never even messed with that connection area and it went bad randomly.
