Hard to start in morning. Fine rest of day. Fine even when I shut it off after 30 seconds after it finally starts for 1st time. Has brand new battery. All fuses ok except one for trunk makes testing device flash, but no change when removing that fuse, except then auto door locks don’t work. Friend …

You need to give us a very complete description of what “hard to start” means. A number of problems might be described that way.

You may hear it. Turn Off, then back to Run so it runs some more. After a few such steps, then turn the key…
