Recently I have had trouble starting the car. When I try to start, it acts like the battery is dead. Then, 4 minutes later it is fine and I have no problems. Battery seems 100%. Then today, I was driving and it started fine, but acted strange. When I turned on the lights, it killed the radio, then the radio came back on, but only from a few speakers. Then I was driving and the car just died. Nothing. Then I couldn't get it to start again (as if dead battery). After about 5 minutes, I was able to get it running again as if nothing was wrong. I think its an electrical problem or starter. Any ideas and how much it cost to fix?

Hi!
Start replacing or at least cleaning the battery connectors (+ and-) and the batt posts make sure that they are making a clean solid contact.
Plain water dissolve the sludge and calcium deposits around the connectors.

Let us know!
