I go out in the morning and my bronco starts fine. I run to the store and shut it off come back after 5 minutes and it turns over just fine but will not start unless I wait about 30 minutes and then it will start. I have noticed as I am driving that the battery light will flicker on and off. Will come on but never stay on. The battery is brand new and seems to hold a charge and it does not require a jump.
