    Wow... here we go... So I get in my car today, hit the disarm button put key in ignition, turn key to second position and no dash lights nothing... basically every light/electrical component on the car was off. The car was on the battery tender all night. The car started up without any dash lights on, but I immidietely shut it down, turned thebattery disconnect knob in the trunk to off for 5 minutes, turned it back to on and everything was fine...

    Wow... until your last sentence I was about to say you somehow fried your gauge cluster. I've seen a number of posts where this has happened, especially on 360s.

    Lucky you... it's a $2500 repair because it call comes together.

    Was that on a 360 or 430? Sounds weird man. Sounds like you might have a bad ground somewhere. If it happens again, I'd check all ground points (loose, rusty, etc), but you'd need an electrical troubleshooting manual for that. And yes, you can fry electronics that way; better check it out asap if it happens again. Good luck.

    I have driven the car 2 times now, about 20-30 miles each trip, turned the engine off and restarted 4-6 times during the two drives since this happened... so far so good.
    Still open to advice or anybody that has had same experience.
    Thanks

    Had a similar experience this week, abs asr and gearbox lights came on when I started and when I drove away the speedo did not work. Put it on a trickle charger over night and next day everything was ok and the speedo was working again. Seems the 360 is very sensitive on the battery being fully loaded and in top condition.

    Probably on the brink. Sucks but at least it's working for now.

    Yeah it seems everytime I put the car on the battery tender (which is every night) it takes awhile for it to go from charge to maintain. I was thinking it should go to maintain much quicker.
