Just replaced the lower a arms on both sides and took the battery out to do so. Started down the road to go to work and gauges went dead and engine stopped and will not even make an engage sound, but everything else seems to work in the dash electrical wise. Replaced the pos and neg battery cable ends all connections there are tight!!
