short in steering column? Brief loss of power.

I have searched here but didn't find a similar problem.

When turning the wheel sometimes at low speed, or even once putting the turn signals on, I have a momentary loss of power. Engine doesn't shut off usually, DSC lights, etc come on.

I also noticed a cornering light and fog light is out.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

2004 6 speed.

thanks

Make certain that the connectors on you battery are tight. Also that the battery itself is clamped in place and not moving around.

There is a steering wheel connector under the Air box tray near the overflow for the radaitor.
