Electrical problem
1997 GMC C1500 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

On my truck I get an intermitent no start problem.
Sometimes will start up and run perfect sometimes starts when I shift and take off it will die and when I turn the key I have no power if I jiggle the wires on the + side of the battery the power is restored and it will start and run with no problems. I checked the battery terminals they are both clean and the conections are tight. Also iwhen it is running and the blower motor gets turned on high the truck will cut out.

Hi:
If the battery terminals are clean and tight, then you need to check the other end of the wires you are moving for the same thing, clean and tight. Also, if everything looks good, check for continuity in the wires to make sure the're no breaks internally.

Let me know what you find.
