I was driving to work today and my car decided to go nuts on me. I was driving it fairly hard but i don't think that would be related to the issue. I took a corner fairly hard and after coming out of it my car was fine for a second or 2 then the guages flashed and the car died. I tried restarting and it just acted like the battery was dead. It ticked when i tried to turn it over like it just didn't have enough power to work the starter. I will try to jump later this afternoon but i was curious if anyone else has had a similar issue. I have had a couple probs with the head unit before. It was in car when i bought it. I pulled it out and fixed the ground. Thant is what I thought was causing it to shut off but it is still doing it after a bump or hard corner. The car did sit for several months as I was painting and doing bodywork on it but i have been driving it for a couple months now
