Sl1 electronics problem

I've been having a electronic system problem with my 1996 SL1.

It is like the entire electrical system turns off. What I mainly notice is that the clock resets and all the radio preset are lost when I start the car.

More troubling is that a couple times in the past week, the shutdown occurs while the car is running -- at which point everything shutdown including the engine. Everything comes back on immediately and I am able to restart the engine with no problems.

Any ideas??

Re: Sl1 electronics problem

Check battery cables and remove corrosion.
check aternator connections for possible short
check main system grounding cables, don't forget about the one under the air box intake, sometimes battery corrosion works its way down there, out of site because the air box obstructs visibility.

Re: Sl1 electronics problem

Had some work done a couple of months ago, mainly tune up stuff -- spark plug wires, etc. The problems I described was happening once in a while before I had this work done.
