Weird Starting Electrical Problem
This is my first post and I apprieciate all of your help in advance. Whats happening is when I turn my ignition to the on position, everything comes on and works fine. When I turn it to start, it cranks for a fraction of a second and then everything dies. No power even in the on position until I wait for about 5 minutes. Then all works again until I try to start it. The starter is fairly new and I have no idea where to start looking for the problem. Again thank you for helping me out.

Bad connection of a battery cable at the battery
Take them both off and clean them with a wire brush and then some baking soda / water solution, rinse with clean water.
If all is well there and it still does it, then the battery is broken internall, where one of the bars that goes from one cell to teh next is connected.
