Hi Guys,
I really need help with this one. I've got a 97 Mark VIII that run great until recently when it started to have the all the electrics cut out randomly. I describe it like a lightning power strike in your home. Everything brieghly cuts out and comes back on. The car dies during that time. Usually for a second. It started a month ago and would happen once maybe twice a week. This morning I barely made it to work. It was cutting out every couple of seconds. It made no difference if I was stopped or going 65mph. No service engine light is on. Like I said before, when it is not doing this it runs great. I really need help guys. Any suggestions?

Well my post haws been on here for a while and nobodys has responded.
Upon closer examination of battery cables I noticed that the positive cable curls behind the back edge of the battery housing very tightly and has severe rubbing wear marks into the protective sheathing.
