I push the button to start the car, and the engine begins to turn but it doesn’t fully start. Radio then comes on lights etc. Seems like gas isn’t getting in to fully turnover. I replaced the battery. Seems like when I use the AC while I am not driving it won’t restart. Then I have to jump it for it to restart. ---

How often do you drive, and how far are your trips? Lack of use is one possibility. Is your check engine light on? If so, that’s another clue. Get the codes read and let us know what they are if the CEL is illuminated. There might be a parasitic draw too, but let’s deal with the other two first. ---

Unplug the compressor clutch connector and see if the problem goes away. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/6/3/6383c323638e24ad6adb6ec6795065e3d6362082.jpeg) Tester
