At times the car won't turn on. I hear the engine turn over but it just won't crank as I turn the key. If I jump the car it then cuts on and drives with no problems. This happens sometimes as often as multiple times in one day to as few as 2 weeks apart and has been occurring for the last 5-6 months or more. I troubleshooted that maybe something was draining the battery while the car was off and purchased a battery disconnector that I turned on/off when entering and exiting the car...I saw no significant change...when reconnecting the battery sometimes the car still didn't start without a jump. The battery has been tested at multiple locations and I've been told it's good. The alternator was changed 2-3 years ago. I've surmised that it's some problem with electrical conduction, but do not know where it derives. It never stalls out so how can it be the alternator? It just won't turn back on at times without jumping the car. It's annoying, what needs to be repaired? (I DO NOT LEAVE LIGHTS ON, THE CAR IS IN PARK AND THE IGNITION IS IN OFF POSITION)
