My 2000 automatic just cut off on me hours ago. I left work an 4 minutes home it cut off And of course someone hit my rear end. I tried to turn it back on and got nothing. 12 minutes after my lights came back on and started fine..this one has truly got me fooled. Never happened before. Everything cut off; no flickering so I can imagine it's not the alternator. It bogs down in the winter but never shuts off and if it does I can start it right up. I checked all my cables they look good. Ideas? I'm at my ends with this thing

 

ground cable from battery to the frame or fuse box, or the power cable to the fuse box I would guess.

 

Weird because went to turn it on today before I got to turning it on everything cut off. 6 minutes later I tried and it started. Same thing just now. Anyone. Please throw your thoughts out

 

^ Are you kidding me with that sig?

So wait I'm a little confused, did it shut off before or after you got hit?

 

Before. I got hit because my lights cut off an apparently he didnt see me.
