I have a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am SE w/about 55,000 miles. The other day I was driving and came to a stop, when I tried to unlock my doors w/the power lock switch they would not unlock. I tried it a few times and after a few times they worked. That same evening, I went to start my car and it would not start, when I turned the key it just made a clicking noise. My lights and radio and wipers all were still working fine. I got a jump from a friend and the car seemed fine until the next evening. I was rolling up my windows and as I hit the power window button my headlights and all my dash lights dimmed everytime I tried to roll up my windows. I took the car to a garage, they checked it, said there is nothing wrong with the car. My battery and alternator appear to be fine. I don't agree, there has to be something wrong. Any ideas???

IT wouldn't surprise me if it was the battery. Check the battery cables bolts with a wrench as see if they are tight.
