the positive clamp turned and therefore it was NOT tightened securely.
I removed the terminals and tried a trick told to me by a mechanic I know.
I replaced the terminals and before tightening them down I stuck the wire of a paper clip between the post and the clamp to help ensure that once tightened it was really tight.
This trick solved my intermittent problems and I was amazed that a slightly loose battery terminal clamp could cause the issues I had.
By the way the wing coming up was one of my issues and went away.
Good luck....these cars a complex when the power is interrupted in any way
Great post! Had a similar situation with a Kawasaki m/c years ago. Rode for quite a few miles, bike died, found slightly loose cable clamp. By then, the regulator/rectifier was toast!
I think my recent erratic spoiler action may have been from the same cause. Seems to be back to normal now, after some battery charging (due to sitting a bit) & reinstalling the cables, as you described.
