New found Strangness
Hello all,
So, about once a day my car will not start. Lights, radio, AC all that goodness is on but when i turn the key all the way to the right.... slience. Repeat the process about 15 times and then she starts like there's nothing wrong.
There one more thing to note that i noticed today. When i start the car the AC panel in Console dims on and off for a few minutes and remains on but not as bright as the radio panel.
Any ideas? Is this a grounding issue and can i take to the dealer to find it?
Thanks again for your advice.

Hmmm... have you checked your battery? If yes... what kind is it and how old? I had the same issue... ended up being a leaky stock AC DELCO. It had been leaking along the inside of the positive terminal and the battery so I couldn't see. Hence the intermittent connection. The positive terminal had fused to the battery. It actually ended up coming right off... leaving a hole in it! Something to check anyway...
