Need help.
My toyota CAMRY 2000 loses electric power occasionally for a duration of about 5 minutes before it restored without any serious effort.
During this period all lights on dashboard and inner lights will not respond.
Please, what could be responsible for this as I noticed this after buying a new battery.
Could it be the battery is bad?

Are you saying the car shuts down completely? pls be a bit more precise. But from the way you have higlighted your problem it sounds like you having a power source problem

You might have a grounding issue, check ground connections from engine bay area.

Yes it does. Whenever it occurs, i'll have to reset the digital clock.

The positive end of your car battery might be touching the body of your car or the battery holder, check well.
