Weird starting issue
 
Hi all.

Since I got my 02 Box in September, have had to jump it off about a half dozen times after leaving the radio or lights on for a few minutes with the motor off. Thinking it was a weak battery, I took it over yesterday to get it replaced.
However, when tested, the battery is a good strong state with an 87% 'good' reading.

The issue is that when I am (for instance) installing my stereo or rear tail lights and leave the car in 'acc' mode, when I go to start it up it won't catch.

I guess I will need to take it somewhere to have it put on the computer, but does anyone have any quick guesses as to what might be happening?

Might want to try replacing the ignition switch, it can cause electrical gremlins, and it's a $20 part online.

Check the connection back on the top of the engine. They can loosen up and then cause the car not to start.
