I was pulling up to a stop sign and it just died on me. I put it into park and tried to start it again and it would not even crank. I shut the A/C and radio and tried again and it still wouldn't even crank. After 4 or 5 attempts it finally cranked over and started fine. I got home fine. After it sat in the driveway for about 3 hours I went back out and again it would not crank at all. I noticed the blower for the air wasn't coming on but the clock on the radio was on. I turned the headlights on and it cranked right over. Coincidence? Shut it of and turned back on and could not duplicate the problem again.

Any ideas anyone? This never happened before.
 
I think you're right, I looked at it in the daylight today and the battery is nasty! There is white crud bubbling out of the terminals, a lot of it too. Going to buy a battery now. Thanks for the reply.
