Default AU died :(

Hey guys
Today I was driving my AU around (AUII 6 cyl auto), and the fuel gauge seemed a bit... wrong, so I pulled over to restart my car. I turned it off, however all the interior lights just died too... the aerial stayed up as well. is this indicitive of blowing the main fuse? I messed around with the fuse box, disconnected and reconnected the battery and bam, all the lights go on, and aerial goes down. however when I went to restart my car, everything stopped working again.

What do I do D:

Thanks, Ben

Loose battery terminal or main earth would be my guess. Looking at the engine under the exhaust, you will see a thick cable bolted to the side where the engine mount is - try tightening that. Also try cleaning your battery terminals and ensure they're contacting properly. Failing that, borrow a battery as yours may have dropped a cell...
