Q: Issues starting the car and with the battery dying.
My battery was replaced less than 4 months ago. But over the last 2-3 weeks I am having the following issues: car is not starting with no click for turnover, I turn the key and it clicks but then everything dies, if it does get working- I will sporadically lose half the dash, and finally after it sits in my driveway for a few days of doing nothing- I will open the door and the interior lights start working but as soon as I try to turn the key, everything dies again after it clicks. Please help! Thank you!
