I can be driving down the road, all of the sudden the engine dies and all electrical systems are off line. not even my dome light will come on.

Other days, if I am getting ready for work, I use my remote keyless entry and it does not work. it acts like it has no power. If I wait a few minutes in either scenario, the truck runs fine again.

I replaced the battery and alternator, but my attempts to alleviate the problem have been futile.

I took the truck to a nissan dealership and they could not find any problems with a basic electrical test.

This is a 2000 Nissan Fronter XE

if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful!Thanks,-Ron

This really needs to be moved to the Nissan Trucks forum.

Look for corrosion or a loose connection on your negative ground cable off the battery. Sounds like you're losing juice.
