Default Random Shut off??

So today I pulled into work put my jeep into park and if completely shut down, no dash lights, no nothing even when turning the key! Got out disconnected the battery and hooked it back up and it was fine! Sounds like a bad ground but I was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue

Sounds like you had it figured out, were the connections loose at all?

They didn't seem to be but I ha quick disco on my neg. cable, might have worked loose a bit but I wouldn't think it would cut all the power and not even a flicker like that

I know, I was completely relieved when I hooked the battery back up and it fired up, wheew but I'm gonna go a bit more investigating and check my other grounds, kinda weird for it to just shut down 100%
