Help Me I Have An Issue ! Maybe Major

[moper]

I had one that would never turn more than a second if it was raining.... until you wiggled the terminals a little. It was corrosion between the terminals. Everything would turn off when it did it. no lights, radio, nothing until you wiggled them.

So It Was Prolly Bout 90 At Myu Buddies Yesterday And I Was Driving About 2 Miles To His House And I Almost Passed The Exit So I Took A Kinda Sharp Turn And The Car Died Just Like That I Tried To Start It Back Up It Made No Sound No Turn Over Nothing So I Left It Alone For A Couple Mins Checked Made Sure Nothing Came Unpluged And It Started Back Up I Thought Sweet.so I Left His House After Bout An Hr And Was Driving And It Did It Again Out Of No Where Died And This Time Stayed That Way For 2hrs On The Side Of The Street It Was Lie No Battery Power At All No Turn Over Nothing Then It Started After I Put 2qts Of Water And Let It Sit Havnt Had An Issue Again After That What Could Be The Issue.

Ppl Told Me Ahhhh It Overheated And Died Nother Guy Said My Starter And Nother Guy Said Could Be My Altinator What Could It Really Bee I Need Help.!

I had that happen once. Check the bulkhead connector on the firewall. Make sure they are plugged in tightly. Also make sure that the main power wire (the one with the fuse able link in it) did not become loose and slide out of the bulkhead connector. I was driving my car and the whole thing just went dead. Good luck !
