Default Electricity dies at 70mph

I was on my way to school this morning and a very weird thing happend to me. I hit about 70mph and my electrical went out. I'm talking Odometer, Radio, and 12v outlet. After 70mph it worked fine but as I slowed down I noticed that again it happend when I hit 70mph. It happened three times today. However, I was driving home from school and this did not happen as I hit 70mph.

I am not sure if weather has an effect on the car but this has been one of our most humid days since I had the Saturn.

Have any ideas?

Thanks

Well it seemed 70 was the cut off point. After or before that point it is fine. Weird huh?

Well this morning it seemed like it was exactly 70. I was more concerned keeping my eyes on the road with the heavy rush hour traffic. On the way home I hit 75 - 80 and it did not happen.

It did it again when I was in the driveway rolling up my windows. It was a split second.
