Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Based on your description, it sounds like you either have a loose connection or a corrosion issue on the battery. Do me a favor, read through this link and do what it says. I think this is the issue.

Let me know the results or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
