loose connection or you are overloading outlets,if your trying to draw more than 15 amps continiously i'd reccomend fused wiring back to battery or main fuse box
Check the connections at the battery. Loose connections or corroded connections will cause this same symptom.
It is not uncommon for side terminal batteries to also have a problem internally between the mounting button (the place that the cable end bolts to) and the internal connection to the battery.
What sounds like what is happening is the connection is good enough to power up a light load, dash lights, gauges, radio, etc, but when a heavy load is demanded the connection heats up and looses continuity.
I see this issue more on fords but I have seen a fair amount of GM's with this issue.
you may have a short in the car wireing or just a dud battery,, if the altornater is leaking back that would drain the battery as well try taking off a battery lead and let the car stand for a day or so,, if it starts right up its not the battery there is a drain in the car,, but dont take off the battery if you have not got your radio coad as you will lose the radio
