Yaris, very mysterious, electrical problem (VIDEO) - SOLVED

Hello, I am having a big electrical problem with my Yaris 1.4 D4D 2006. As you can see in the video, when driving suddenly everything start to blink, gear change to Neutral, radio off, and some seconds later everything works again.

Is impossible to reproduce the problem, that occurs from time to time, not always.

Tha battery is well connected and seems to be OK (at least green light in the battery hole and not problems to start).

I appreciate a lot any advice.

Check the ground wire to the chassis, not at the battery. Have you changed anything electrical recently? Headlights, stereo, etc...

Could be a simple fault in a ground wire to the engine, etc...

Look up technique for testing your vehicle's earth/ground system for faults. Try this article, see if this helps you any. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...enance/4314662

Besides checking for loose ground connections, check the connectors on the under side of the positive battery terminal to make sure they are not loose or corroded.

SOLVED. The problem has been solved just with a new battery. It seems the old battery don't have enough power to support all the electrical demands.

Thank you!.
