Any ideas why it won't start and does this...?

How is your battery?
Mine would do that when my battery was close to the end of its life.

If you haven't touched the starter, starter is probably dead. Year of car? Miles? Also, could be battery like stated above.

It's a year old battery. But...I have been leaving my dash cam plugged in. I'd be surprised if that draws enough juice to kill the battery, right? I've got it on the charger now and it was down to below 10%. I'll charge it up and then go to the battery place I got it from and see what they have to say.

Yep battery. Mine did that when I left my AP plugged in and didn't drive it for a week durning the first part of the stay at home order.

When my factory Motorcraft battery gave up the ghost, that is EXACTLY how the dash 'behaved' (or MISbehaved!). [:(]

You know what, another thing... How far do you drive the car usually? If you don't get very man highway miles and it's a short drive to work you could also be killing the battery before it has a chance to recharge.

Precisely why I charge my Odyssey 96R-600 once a week as a precaution, as sometimes, when I connect the charger it is only showing an 80% charge, and low 12s on voltage. [wink]
