So my 2010 Camaro SS had intermittent electrical issue . It would randomly turn off for about one or two seconds and then turn back on while driving. The HUD would show weird stuff like reset driver & passenger window move up and down. Then when I'm pulling in the driveway at like 1 mile an hour and turning the wheel it does it again. So I'm like hmmm. So sitting still engine idle I turn the wheel left and right then it does it again. So bottom line my positive battery cable was touching the steering shaft. Maybe the battery cable moved when I did the cam change ia year ago.

Good find though.
