Check your cables from the battery... Sounds like the
cable harness has crapped out, or is loose on the
battery. My '95 just did this (my brother's now), and
it was the harness... About $95 list at the dealership
(dealer only item for V6/V8.. not sure on 4 cyl), but
my cost was $58.00.... I bet your RADIO loses it
memory too when this happens. If this is the case,
the battery cables are probably 90% at fault.
