I’m going to try my best to explain this. Every so often, I’ll go to start my car, everything is fine until I turn the key to start the engine, then all electrical is cut to the car. The only fix to this that I have been able to find was touching the positive battery terminal. This would shock my finger just a little, and all electrical would return, and the car would start as normal. This problem happens randomly, no pattern I’ve been able to detect

With my very little electrical knowledge, is this a ground issue? I have never heard of a car doing this

Thanks for any insight

 

Remove battery cables. Clean the battery terminals and cable clamps. Reinstall battery cables.

Also, check the points where the battery ground cable attaches to the chassis (for any corrosion or damage) and where the engine to chassis grounds are under the car from the engine/transmission bell housing to the frame. Hope this fixes this strange issue!
