How's that for a headline?
'88 MM Sport. The problem is intermittent. Starts just fine the first time I run it for the day. I get it somewhere, shut it down, then 5-10 minutes later come back and turn the key, and nothing. No gauge lights, hazard lights, absolutely no power anywhere. Anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes later, it'll start like nothing happened.
It never dies while running, and doesn't always have this problem while restarting.
The battery connections are tight, and I inspected the wiring, nothing burned, cut, or shorted. Battery reads 14v when tested. Unfortunately I don't have an electrical shop manual for it, so there might be something somewhere that I'm not looking at. Also unfortunately it's only done this while away from my garage so I haven't have all my tools to test with, so I can't verify that the battery is putting out 14v at the time of the problem.
Any ideas on what I should start looking for? Thanks all.
