Then a few minutes later I get back in and its like the battery is dead and won't crank over the engine.
The battery is only about a year and a half old (84 month battery).
If I wait a few minutes and shut off the radio, and let the seat belts finish their cycle then it may then crank over.
I do not believe this problem is related to an electrical problem, just a weak battery because the car requires a higher load than the battery can delivery.
I checked the acid level in the battery and all cells are full.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
Thanks, Ken

Ken, you need to be a little more specific in describing exactly what takes place.
(1) Is it that the starter motor does not appear to have enough power to crank the engine properly? Or ---
(2) Does the starter not operate at all, and if so is there a click noise at the starter, indicating that the solenoid is attempting to engage?
(3) Is there never a problem when the engine is cold ?
