This is an ongoing issue and it is starting to get annoying. My car just won't start! I mean I put the key in the ignition and the radio and lights come on. I took it the mechanic and first he said that it was the battery and he changed it but weeks later the problem happened again. He looked at it again and within minutes it started. I have no idea what to do.

The positive battery connection on my 2010 Mazda 3 was is cause of those same issues for my car. There is a 250A fuse block attached to the battery terminal connecting ring and that ring either doesnt make complete contact with the battery so youre not getting enough volts, or the nut and bolt that attaches the fuse block to the terminal ring is not screwed on tightly enough. There is a semiconductor of somekind that bolt squeezes together. If its not a tight fit, no start but the lights work.
