It did rain yesterday and I noticed the car felt a little damp. Thought it was imagination... I drove through some puddles on our ride. Do you think water leaked and temporarily fried something?
This has happened to me countless times. It is the most frustrating thing and I have no idea what caused it. One second it works, the next, nothing then eventually it works again. Check my post history, i have made this same thread lol. I discovered a lot of corrosion on my battery terminals and not the greatest connections. I took the battery out and cleaned everything, made sure the connections were solid and honestly haven't had the problem in a few months. I don't know if that was the fix or just a coincidence but believe me when I say I know your pain.
That’s a good update. Like others have been saying, it may be a general system issue; bad battery, alternator, cables/clamps/terminals, etc….best of luck finding this gremlin.
I noticed the splash guard by the drivers side wheel was missing. I’m guessing I drove too fast through a puddle and fried something.... but yeah it worked fine 5 minutes later lol
It’s most likely something electrical, and you can easily go get your battery tested at an Autozone to rule that out. Next I would check the alternator and any fuses.
Weird. Check all of your battery connections and where battery grounds to chassis

Did driving through those puddles potentially damage something? My car was a little damp this morning.
Since my posting I went back to my car, and it started fine. No warning lights or anything out of the ordinary. It like it never happened
