Electrical problem FIXED

So my car has been having some weird electrical problems with surging and randomly shutting off. Sometimes it wont start and there is absolutely no power going to anything. No dome lights, no head lights, no starter... nothing!

So I took a wrench and connected the 2 metal screws that go into the red positive terminal next to the battery. The power came back! I took it off and it was gone again.

If you look at the wires comming off the battery, one goes to the alternator and the other goes to this connection. Aparently the connection went south, so I put the positive wire from the battery on top of the stud that holds all the positive wires for the rest of the car.

Everything works great now. No problems!

This might be the solution to some of your problems!

Nice....too bad 2 electrical problems are rarely exactly the same.
