166K no issues ever (normal mantainace).

suddenly keyless fob works occasionally

speedometer intermittent

power antenna doesn't always go fully or fully down (this has been a small problem for a while about 2" worth now it's pretty much a foot or so)

PLUS

after all this started (a couple of weeks ago) I had a hard start & then 20 minutes later... no start. New battery installed... no starting issues since.

(3 days).

any ideas?

thanks.

The only correlation to those symptoms would be possible electrical issues. Maybe a short.

 

What you can do to test this theory would be to get a multi-meter, disconnect the negative lead from the battery and put the meter in between the negative lead and the battery. When the meter is in the amps setting, it should tell you how many amps are being drawn. You only want to do this when the car is off. When it's sitting, you should only have a few milliamps of draw. If you have more than that, it could indicate there is a short some where.
