Have you cleaned your terminals lately? You could have loose or encrusted electrical connections. One way to test this is to pull on your head lights at night, and start tapping on the connections at the battery and starter, if the headlights get brighter or dimmer, you know you have a problem. Easy check, too. Clean them up and you may have solved your problem. If you have no lights, but the battery is showing good, then your connections need to be checked. Maybe your starter cable came loose. Time to check it.

when oddball electrical problems arise a poor ground is almost always at fault
check main battery ground lug on right side of engine in front of distributor and injection harness and body ground lug to rear of distributor have found these loose right off of the new car carriers and more than a few wires broken off at the ring terminals [fuel injection/ignition harness] over the years
good luck
