When I go to start my car, it doesn't even turn over. I go back 20 minutes later, and it starts. My clock resets to 12:00 and it acts like the battery has been disconnected. Could this be electrical? I have dash lights pop up sometimes that I know aren't right. Like the trunk light.

Have you had the battery tested yet and made sure the battery cables are clean and tight?

Doesn't matter how new the battery is I have pulled brand new batteries off the shelf that were bad. Have the alternator and battery tested and aso make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.
