Saturn 1999, SL2, when trying to start all power goes dead.
 

Vehicle runs fine. If i stop and kill the engine, when i try to start
it, all power goes out. I wait a bit and the power will return, but
when I try to start it, all power goes out. Nothing is on. Battery is
2 years old. I am thinking could be the battery or alternator. I'll
have to push or pull to get it checked, but I wanted some opinions
first.
Thanks for any help.

Check for corrosion on the battery post.

I checked and cleaned battery posts. When the power returns it is full
power. strong lights.
