Default Cuts off while driving

Sup guys first post on this forum. So driving to work the past couple of days the truck will cut off lights, radio, everything for a split second. It will immediatly cut back on because i'm in gear (5 speed). If im not in gear it will stay off till i drop the clutch. It didnt concern me that much at first because it would only happen once on the way to work and once back. Now it is happening 3 or 4 times for a 30 minute drive. Dont know what it could be. Oh and since this cut has been happening sometimes my "e-brake" and abs light comes on for a couple seconds then goes off. Guessing these two go hand in hand. Any help would be appreciated. Dont wanna run into somebody because I have no brake booster.

Sounds like you have a bad connection somewhere. Check your battery connections and ground and power wires. Make sure all are tight and clean. Next might be the notorious splice, check the FAQ in this section for a great write up on it with pictures.
