every now and then when i try try to start my car, ill turn the key all the way but it doesent even crank
it does nothing or no noise. Ill try and try but it wont work until i put the key back to the off position and try again, and then it will start but everything resets. All my radio settings my clock and all that resets, and its getting pretty annoying...any ideas of what it might be?? i have a new yellow top optima battery btw |

I had this problem with a different vehicle of mine. It was deffinately a power issue. Unfortunately like Hitcachi said you will have to check all of the electrical connections. It tok me the better half of a day to find that I had a wire that was separating from it's connector inside the engine bay. Good luck
