You should definately begin at the battery and assume nothing. A brand new battery can fail anytime, if a cell dies and the voltage drops to 10V I would imagine that the computer could just shut down so as to avoid damage or faulty signals. Many modern electronic devices do this. Test the battery on a multimeter and decent load too, like a brake bulb. Then the connections, then the wires, then the fuses.
I do it this way unless I strongly suspect the cause. No one bothers to check the wiring until after 2 weeks of frustration but as been said on this thread and others, bared wires are common on the model. Very bad design that.
