Default Need help with second car mechanically, Lexus ES300

I am trying to diagnose what the problem is. The car will not start sometimes until I go wiggle the battery and now while I'm driving, the whole electrical system turns off, including the power steering, but the engine is still on. The power then comes back on. This usually happens when I am turning. Any ideas? Thanks.

Default An electrical problem like this really could be anything....

Any responses here would be just guesses. It's likely a short somewhere. You will want to have a professional troubleshoot the electrical system. This sounds like a safety issue.
