1972 Mazda B1800 Pickup truck.  First and LAST japanese vehicle I will ever
own.  It did this very thing to me at the curve in a backroad through a corn
field in the middle of the night. VERY SCARY! Frayed wire at a side marker
took out the fuse for ALL running and headlights at once.  
 
And we thought The Prince was bad.........
