This happened in the morning as I turned on the accessories. Put down the windows and turned on the music without starting the car as usual, but as soon as I did that the power died. Tried to start the car, nothing. Went to pop the hood to check the battery, and tried it again and it started. Haven't had a problem with that since, but I've noticed that my fogs (non-factory) won't turn on at all anymore.
Short in a fuse somewhere? I always have them on, and the HU is constantly on as well, so as soon as the accessories are on they are also on along with everything else. |

Thanks man for helping, I'll look at it later on this afternoon. It died again this morning...turned the ignition off, left it like that for a minute or two, and it jumped on again. I checked the fuse box and nothing seemed to be blown there, as far as I can tell with my inexperience. I'll check the one close to the battery and the wiring too.
