Have you checked your battery connections? Maybe something is getting loose.

sounds like you should sell it to your buddy and let him deal with it.

You need to pull the battery connections and clean them. Being tight and appearing ok doesn't mean you don't have poor or no continuity due to corrosion on the terminals.

You might check the connections for those engine bay fuses, especially the main fuse. If it's loose or corroded it could do exactly that.

edit: I also second what Don49 said. I've heard of people having visually clean connections to the battery, but had tons of problems, then they cleaned the terminals and everything went back to normal.

friend had same problem turned out it was the 100amp black screw in fuse that messed with it all.
