12v Power Problems

[shotter]

I was driving around and my head deck would turn off and them back on when i went over a bump. And i also noticed my clock had reset. The car is a R33. I am wondering where to start trying to trace where the lose connection is. The battery is brand new.

Thank You

start at the radio and work back. I assume you changed it recently?

Start at any recent changes.

If you have not changed anything AT ALL, then check how tight the fuses are, as I have seen loose fuse cause this issue (especially if the clock is resetting as well).

Failing the fuse, as Chris has said, check the cabling for the head unit, make sure there is no exposed wiring anywhere in the general area, and then work back.

Check your battery terminals incase you left one loose.

Check your battery terminals incase you left one loose.

If this is the case, also check your alternator which should be able to power the car without a battery or in the case where a terminal comes off or looses connection.

I have checked the terminals and they are tight, and the radio was installed before i bought the car and i have had it for a few months and this so far has only happened one morning. hasn't played up again. What fuses should i be looking at? the ones inside, the ones under the bonnet or the ones in the boot?
