battery good , them few days later car will start right up with no problems . car has the antitheft module however I have no alarm buttons only key. has anybody experience this and what could be causing this issue. notice driver side door lock sometimes hard to turn or power locks wont work . however last time I drove it . I locked all doors with power lock no problem it worked locked no interior lights on .. came back 2 days later car wont start interior power and ext lights work though....go figure.

happy new year to everybody !!

Does the alternator test good? Have you checked to see that the connections on it all tight? Sounds a bit like a bad ground or loose wire associated with the charging system.

I had the exact same problem, everything is dead like the battery is not even connected. I took the positive terminal off the battery and wire brushed the inside diameter of the terminal connector & the terminal on the battery, everything is good to go now.
