Default will not start again

Want start again after being parked all night ?????????????????????????????
Bad news I programmed the key yesterday and the car started right up and everything but the air and windshield wipers worked fine I cleared all the codes and only got three AC codes. I went to crank it today after it had been parked all night and it will not do anything. I programmed the key again and it fired right up. It is like when its sits for a while it loses it memory. I cannot figure this one out.

There is a procedure for doing that and if you don't follow it exactly it will act the way you are describing.....I think......just not sure where I read that in the manual.

Did you pull your codes to see what it was complaining about? Did the security light stay on or was flashing? When you say it didn't start, did the engine turn over at all? If not, did you hear the starter solenoid do its major click sound? With other things not working, I have to wonder if there is water dripping on the BCM?

No water dripping anywhere i reprogrammed the key again and it fired up but the security light stayed on and now the air blows warm on the drivers side. Last time it was cold on the drivers only. Now its cold on the pass side only.

Two things to start with. Pull the codes as I suggested before. Also measure the battery voltage across the battery with a DVM and the ignition off.
