one thing you should do is clean the battery terminals.. use some sort of wire brush and clean the power and ground connectors that attach to the battery and the terminals on the battery itself. there's a chance that this may be the culprit.
i had this issue in the summer, my battery and alternator were in excellent condition but my car wouldn't start after turning it off. the problem was it was not getting connection due to a layer of oxidization that develop between the connectors and the battery terminals. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
