I have a new battery. Car usually starts fine. Once in a while refuses to turn over - just a few clicks. A few minutes later it is fine. Sometimes I lose clock setting and radio settings when it won't start. Is this problem related to battery connection, starter, electrical??? Please help!

since the clock and radio resets then i belive it is not the starter or the relay, and probably a bad battery or corroded/loose connections.

may even be the ignition switch if it isnt the first two.

if it was the starter relay or a bad starter the radio/clock wouldnt reset!
