Electrical Problem - Camaro
95 Camaro - 3.8 ltr auto. - Intermittant loss of power while attempting to start. I insert key and turn to START position - all the usual dash lights come on normally, starter turns a rotation or two - then complete loss of power. Not even the courtesy lights come on - no clock - no headlamp/brake lamps, no power door locks, etc. DEAD. Let it set for a few minutes - try again - and it starts fine. As you can imagine, this is giving me fits! I've checked the battery, it's fully charged. Any ideas as to where the problem could be?

Re: Electrical Problem - Camaro
sounds like you just have a loose connection somewhere.. Try cleaning and tightening the battery posts.. sometimes that will make a world of difference..
Also check the connections on the starter, etc..

Well, the battery connections were tight, but....there was quite a bit of corrosion built up between the negative cable and terminal. I cleaned it off really good, then tightened the cables back down - and voila! Starts like a new car again! I wish all electrical probs were that easy to fix. Thanks for the help.

I would bet that you have an open conection under or around the steering column. I had a 95 that had never been modified and it caught on fire going down the highway. I got it shut down and everything, and then spent the next two days in my dash and found a factory wire that worn up against the metal in the column and caused a fire. I had to trace down the wire and replace it all, but saved the car. Hope it helps
