got in my car the other day after parking for about 5 mins.
turn the key and nothing happens except the instrument panel lights flicker and slowly come on but the car won't start, not even turnover...
I figure the battery has died unexpectedly?..so i check to see if I left my lights on - which i didn't. I flick the lights to the on postion and they don't turn on. I flick them off and then back on again and they come on this time. I try starting the car up and it starts up perfect. next time I stop and try and start the car up again it does the same thing. but after flicking the headlights on/off twice again - it starts up. As well my dash clock reset itself but the stereo did not reset itself.
the problem hasn't reocurred for a day now. All my fuses seem to be fine. is this a loose ground or what? any suggestions??
thanks in advance.

Get your alternator and your battery checked just in case. Then start from there.

Going to do that but I thought since only the dash clock reset itself and not the stereo, that the whole car didn't lose power (i.e. dead/bad battery/alternator) and that it was a wiring problem of some sort - any other thoughts anyone?
