Hey guys,

Tonight, after filling up at the gas station, my car wouldn't start. I noticed that there was no electrical power at all-- no dome light, nothing. After several tries with the ignition, power resumed and it started right up. The car was completely warmed up.

Tomorrow, when there's daylight, I'll check to see if either of the battery cables is loose.

Could the problem be anything else?

Thanks!

PS A couple months ago, when putting the gear into Park, all the dash and cente console lights began flashing erratically. This has happend a couple times, but not recently. Don't know if that's related or not.
