One day the car would not start since the battery was dead, not sure what drained it. I tried to jump the car and I have only been able to get about a 1/4 crank or the engine turns over about a 1/4 of the way and stops. Same result over and over until one day in december it actually started! I drove it, parked it and again it would not start. I changed the starter with rebuilt and had the old and rebuilt tested, both are ok. After the 1/4 crank, the power in the cab goes out and comes back when I turn the key to off and back to on. I posted these videos to help gauge the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXIZ9WNbIR0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqWOYA1u5TY If I should post somewhere else, please direct me. :) Any help is appreciated, I would hate to give the car to a salvage yard as it only has 130k and drives like a champ if I can get it started.
