On the way home from work yesterday, just got off the freeway, and had an instant loss of electric power, only lasted half a second, then ran normal. I turned into a parking lot and and it happend again, then back to normal. As I pulled into a parking space, it happend again, this time killing the engine. Once i parked, I tried restarting it, which worked, it ran for a couple seconds, then died again. While waiting for a tow truck, I tried it a few more times, each time, it would start, run for a second or two, then total electric failure. When it happened, I was at a high electrical load, A/c, headlights, turn signal. Trying to move it around my yard, it died a few more times and now I have no power at all.
I have another vehicle to drive for the time being, and ill be able to work on it this weekend.
My question is, what should i be looking for?
Im assuming its a broken ground, or battery/alternator cable, and not a fuse, although I think the headlights have auto-reseting breakers, dont know if there are any other breakers that could be bad. All my cables are OEM, and I had already planned on doing "the big 3".
Its a 94' Yukon, 5.7 TBI, new battery last month. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
