Hey Guys,

I have no idea anyone had experience this before. I was driving today on my way home and suddenly i notice my climate control unit went white blank for a few second as if it restarting, the next thing my dash and everything gone, I mean like totally car shut off while I'm on the road! But after a few second it started again and was normal. Nothing on the dash telling me any faulty or problems.

oh, and on my way back home spotted a white soarer with black rims? anyone form here? was passing through Middleborough towards Box Hill VIC. I was on my sliver with black bonnet and boot V8.

Any ideas and experience to share will be great!

Jason, have you ever seen any of those old B/W Alien Movies, where all the Electrics in a car just shut down for a few minutes.

It's most likely a loose battery terminal or earth point.

With due Respect to those trying to help Jason, I think someone will soon write a book on all the oddities of these Soarer's, and it will be a Best Seller.

hahahaha, you guys really creative . yea, it was just the same situation wayne illustrate.

i just don't feel like driving in a sudden and this happened might cause steering locked or others crash behind me.

And it Just happened again! went out for Dominos and same thing happened again, take a closer look, I think my battery connectors is full with corrosion, have them clean and see how it goes.

After you clean and tighten the battery terminals, make sure the battery can't move around.
