2000 V6 5Speed power/starting problem very ODD!!!


Ok helping buddy out.. Car ran fine and one day he went out and wouldnt start. He got new battery and it started drove it next day it wouldnt start (by start wont even turn over)

Starter tested good, ignition module on column replaced fuses checked.

Weird part... sometimes inside has power inside like windows, dash, etc and sometimes not...

Main dist box under hood has power..

Now for the one that has me wanting to pull hair out.. I was just using test light had on battery ground and touched engine and light came on.. touch headers lights up, intake lights up etc..

I am at a complete loss!!!

Please help!
Thanks

I had the EXACT same problem. Replaced terminals and no problems since, wasn't fitting over negative post evenly. Doubtful it's that simple but who knows?

That is another possibility. Check to make sure the battery terminals are clean, not cracked, and tight all the way down on the post. Make sure all of the wires are plugged in good to the alternator etc etc.
