    Its the battery. The same thing happened to me. I was driving with my hids, my ac on full blast and my radio and it was very hot. The srs lights came on, I turned the car off and it would start again. I had to get a boost and it started right up.

    even tho batter is showing its good you think its the battery?

    first battery was showing 8 it should be like 14 15
    so they put new alternator and its not charging either
    now that TCL light is gone but getting battey sign and brake sign they keep blinking together.
    have to leave the car overnight let the shop figure out this wired problem...

    time for an optima... get a yellow top if u have a system and use alot of juice for accessories (lights, radar, lots of alarm motors/sensor etc.), otherwise a red top should be more than enough.

    Yes I had all those lights on the dash. After I got the boost I had a check engine light for about 3 days and it went away by itself. Right now I'm trying to find an optima at a decent price.

    maybe i'm retarded. but it's a serious question. after you get a boost, and drive around for a bit, does the battery recharge? or is it a sign for a new battery?

    have the alternator, starter, and battery retested.
