Runs great, I turn something on like the wipers or e-flashers and the car dies. Engine will spin (not run) but for the most part everything is dead. After a minute or two everything comes on, engine can be started and proceed on my merry way.
I'm thinking a circuit breaker or weak relay.
Switch?

Possibly the ignition switch or a connection in/on/near it or the fuse box is heating up from the extra load and makes contact once it cools back down.
May be time for the brown wire fix if it has not already been done and to clean up the grounds and all the fuse clips in the fuse box.

Big pink wire had slipped out of the connector and was connected "good enough" to run for a little while.
