Now when I shut the car off and lock it with my key fob and then try to unlock with the fob I hear a weak click at the door lock (the vacuum? lock does not unlock). When I unlock with the manual key and then try to turn engine on it is as if I have a very weak battery(dash lights weak) and engine won't turn over at all. After a random number of tries turning ignition on and off all of a sudden dash lights are normal brightness and car starts normally. I have replaced the battery and checked the battery terminals. I assume I must have a loose wire somewhere. Any ideas of where to start looking? I didn't know if this could be a fuse problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

1st choices = replace or clean the battery ground strap and the starter to chassis ground strap, (both ends of both straps).

good luck.
