2003 Tahoe - Problems with Starting

[mkretiv]

We have days when the Tahoe does not start and we get no power - similar to when the alternator goes. But then we try it later and it starts as if there are no problems. Then we drive it some where, park the car and when we come out of store, it does not start. then it sarts up again later no problem. very strange and appears to matybe be something electrical shorting or the starter.

We have also had issues with the dashborad not lighting up (happened once) and the clock keeps resetting itself at 12:00 - which is why I think electrical.

Any thoughts/ideas???

Check the battery-poles. Maybe one of the shoes are loose.

Thank you everyone!!!

Actually ended up being loose battery pole as suggested!

Only thing thing to check now as we continue to drive it is whether the battery has been overly drained because of it. This could result in us not being able to get the battery back to full recharge.

Thanks again to all for your help..cost me $39 for the fix.
