I rarely use this car so I have a battertender on it. Everyithing is great until last week. Each time I went to use the car I would unlock it, and turn the key with no response totally dead. I get out, lock the car, unlock the car and turn the key and it starts just fine. This has happened each time I've used it this past week. When this happens I have to reset the radio code as well.

Please help me diagnose this problem.

Thank yoiu very much.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the donation.

Symptom indicates power supply is being interrupted. Check and clean the battery terminal for a start. If they are loose or contaminated, it can cause intermittent loss of continuity.
