Trouble starting
Hi. I have a 2005. I'm having trouble with it starting. I had the battery checked. It acts like a dead battery but it goes to the ACC everything seems to work fine. but when I push the button to start it maybe cranks once and dead and the check engine light comes up. then a few minutes pass and everything lights up again. I noticed yesterday the drivers window came down a little and the drivers headlight was flashing? does anyone have a clue? I'm far from a mechanic. Thank you Brian

If you’re not a mechanic unfortunately it’s not going to be a blown fuse so I’d start looking for an auto electric shop in your area…was the battery load tested ??…a friend and former coworker of mine runs an auto electric shop in Stroudsburg PA if you want to take the car to him…if your check engine light is illuminated you have a powertrain code that may help in a diagnosis.
