I was out on a BE run today and I was at a store, when I left BE started normally but as I was backing out and hit the brakes the car died. It would turn over after that but not start, headlights would not come on either. No smell of burning electrics. I went over all the electrical connections, battery/etc with a wire brush, tightened all the screws at the fuse block and finally replaced the 2-20AGC fuses in the holder. The BE started then but the second anything electrical is used: headlights, brake lights, turn signal etc the car dies. When it dies I simply twist the 2 under hood fuses in their holder and BE restarts, but dies when electrics are used again, over and over. I limped home using the handbrake, which worked fine I might add.
OK, no fuses are blowing, nothing smells hot or cooked, I see nothing melted anywhere (yet). Something similar happened about a month ago when I changed from hi-beam to low just testing them out, it died. I cleaned the terminals, checked all connections and did not have that happen again.
Any ideas anyone?
