Default Intermitent electrical fault????

A couple of times ,lately when we've gone to start the car, as we turn the key to fire up everything dies for a second. Then the alarm gives a beep and all power is restored. (clock and radio presets all go t1ts up). Then seems to start fine.

Is this a problem with the immobiliser or do we have a dead short somewhere?

What are peoples thoughts?

Cheers

Brian.

How old is your battery?

Might have something to do with it...or maybe not.

Just an idea.
