Hi I looked through the forum and think i found the problem.
Symptoms
Turn on ignition and hear a click click then all is normal turn car over all is fine.
Press brake to shift from park and lose dash and gauges power for a reset but car still runs.
Drive normally but lose power to dash with or without applying brake.
Sometimes actually stalls car but will restart on the fly in neutral.
Sometimes no power to start cold not even interior lights will turn over after couple minutes.

Does this sound like a ground bus issue or batt cable? Just spent 1500 on new brake lines and hubs and now this.

Please help. Thanks for any replies.

It could be either, or both. You'll have to dig into it and find out.

It was corrosion in the positive batt cable. I should have checked that first would have saved time. Oh well live and learn.
