I'm also having this issue myself and oddly enough, I also own a '00 LS8. I have a new battery and a new alternator on mine and it still gives me this prob.

I am currently having this very same issue. Replaced the battery, all connections are tight..
It is intermittent.. Seems to happen when 'most' electrical stuff is on, i.e. lights , radio, wipers. It also will blow assy. fuses i.e. GPS, cellphone chargers, ipod power. It also will blow brake lights, turn signals.. It is also bolwing out the cabin temp sensor..

I love my car but this is driving me crazy..
I have searched and got everything from a bad alternator, bad key, loose connections, bad ground just to name a few..
I read were this seems to be a common problem yet there is no solutions...

If you got one come off with it...

What gives?? Is there a solution or do you live with it????
