This has happened twice now in my daughter's 1991 240 DL. The engine is
fine, but all electrical is out. Stopping the car and restarting have
corrected the problem. I'm figuring it's probably a relay going south. Has
anybody seen this before? I don't think it's the wiring harness because I
thought they cured that problem. Besides, the car only has 120 k miles on
it and is otherwise in great shape.

Help!!

You probally have already thought of this but are the grounds tight and not corroded? Positive terminal tight? My moms 90 240 would shut off occasionally after hitting a sever bump on the highway. She would pull over, wait a minute, and try and restart. Car fired up and she kept on going. I spot checked some basic stuff and it turns out the negative terminal was not as tight as it should have been.
