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?
