Prior to this I never had any electrical/battery/starting problems.
Today I drove to the video store and came out and turn the key and I get Nothing. As if no battery is connected, try the key a few times for maybe 30 seconds then suddenly I have power. The jeep starts first crank no struggle at all and everything seems fine except my stereo is reset(having had no power).
I drive home turn it off and turn the key back to On and get Nothing again. Same thing, I mess with the key and wait like a minute then its got full power.
My battery being relatively new and never struggled to start makes me think its not that. The battery cables are a bit corroded but I cant see that causing a repeatable problem like this?
I did just wash the jeep the day before all this, I didnt spray the engine or anything. Maybe water got around the Alt. and something is shorting? I dont know where to begin other than battery test and changing the battery cables.
