Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Electrical problem

New battery, new starter, new alternator, new ignition switch all instaled within the last 2 months.

For the last several months have gotten a couple of "clicks" from the starter and then the car would start.

About two weeks ago the car suddenly shut off while going down the road; dash lights flashed, radio quit, engine quit and then dash lights and radio immediately came back on. Installed new ignition switch and still have the problem. Sometimes now I don't even get the "click" when I try to start the car, there is just nothing. I wait for a while, try starting it a few more times and it always starts within a few minutes or less. (so far)

Do I have a short? A relay going bad? Bad connections from battery? starter? alternator?

Thanks

Have that new battery load tested first. Just because its new doesn't mean anything. If it passes.....next check the ground cable and make sure its tight where it bolts to the motor/transmission.
