I'm hoping this great MUD crew can help.
I have had this happen 3 times in the past week. I drive somewhere, length of drive has been long and short. I turn off the engine, when I restart, no lights, no click no sounds (seat belts buzzer). First time it happened, I was in a parking lot. I have a jump pack but I couldn't get it to start. I tried taking off the positive battery cable and put it back on. It started. I had the battery tested, it was in good shape.
Next time it happened, was on Friday. Was in a parking lot, after driving 15 minutes. Did my shopping, came back and nothing... no noise, no lights. Remove the battery cable for a few seconds, put it back on and it started. Third time was Saturday. I was fishing and camping and after turning my engine off after a long drive, again... nothing.... Remove the battery cable, start it up again. I
Each time, I have had the heater on high or near high, defroster, radio on and sometimes the wipers going.
I have tried Google and looked over the forums, but if I missed something, please point it out.
I have a 1997, 3x Locked, with 275K miles on it. Engine rebuilt at 198k by PowerPig (Robbie) and replaced a starter 2 years ago. I am a 1 banana type of mechanic. I now try to turn everything off before I turn off the engine but that doesn't seem like it should be necessary, never was before.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Thoughts or comments?
