Electrical goes dead going over RR tracks and on rough road/turning 850 1994

Car cuts out in above situations, know that it is electrical, dash lights up, have to restart. something is loose, shorting, do not know what, just thought someone experienced similar situation and could point us in the right direction to find location of problem. thanks phil

Phil, I would say two very good places to start are at the battery....check both ends of the NEG cable, and be sure they are tight and clean......and You can also check your ignition switch try jiggling the key around while the car is running and see if you can cause the same problem you have when going over bumps.
