I spun out last night on my way home and stalled the car. It fired right up and i drove home about a block away and when I was pulling upto my driveway and my sandal slipped off the clutch and the car stalled. I left the car in gear and went outsude and took a look at my rear tires to see how they were and when i got back into the car to start it again to pull it into the garage i had power to all my components then when i put the key in the ignition and turned it i lost power to EVERYTHING; seatbelt, headlights, dome lights, ect. when i turned the key back to off position i still had no power. i checked the battery terminals and fuses. i disconnected and reconnected everything and i had power again. then once i turned the ignition i lost power once again. anyone have any idea whats going on?



EDIT: its when i turn to the ON position i lose power not the ACC position. I have tried a different battery and it doesn't help. I also tried swapping out ECU's and they didnt help either. When I do manage to regain power throughout the car if I don't have my ecu plugged in then I can turn the ignition to ON position without losing power. however if i shut it off and turn it back to ON position, i lose power again

The fusebox is to the left of the clutch you might have knocked a couple loose?

Poor electrical splices can cause issues like this. A wire could of been pinched and/or pull from your foot something pushing on it when you spun out.



Did you do any electrical work lately or someone else before you?



Try troubleshooting 101 and use a light tester and test the connections when you look power. Is a pain but it helps.
