Earlier today I had stopped to get groceries. When I came back out and started the car, the radio turned off and then back on immediately. I thought nothing of it but just before I turned my car off at home, it did it again. I thought it was weird but since it was working again, I revved the engine and turned it all off.

Over the last month, a warning light has gone on and off about my lights (I believe for the headlights). And even though the warning light goes off and on, all of my lights seem to be working fine. The A/C drain is plugged and I had an appointment to get it cleared but there has been water leakage on the passenger side here and there.

Just tonight I tried to start the car and nothing happened. It would click but the car would not even attempt to turn over. Turning the key half way to turn on just the electronics only turns on the various cabin lights. The stereo will try to turn on but fail and turn back off.

Does anyone have any ideas of what this is? At first I thought it was engine flooding but doesn't it usually try to turn over if it is? The car was warmed up and revved the last time I turned it off. Please help.

 

okay so i dont know whats going on im not to good with this stuff but to save you some heat from getting flamed and asked about it.

Anyone that is going to be able to help needs to know all the info on your car (miles, year, mods, all maintenance you have done stuff like that). Also maybe where you live as well, cold hot?

 

You have electrical issues (obviously)
Water has gotten into places it shouldn't be so you'll have to track down where the water has been and repair whatever has been damaged.
If you have HID headlights then your warning light could be for head light leveling system.

With this car you really need to stay on top of the little things.

 

It's a 2005, rx-8 grand touring. No mods. Got it this last summer and I live in central canada and it's getting pretty chilly now. Haven't pushed it hard minus a few times.

Thanks for the help, I'm thinking it's some sort of electrical issue. Don't have a lot of knowledge on what it has effected by luckily I had an appointment already booked with Mazda this coming Friday. Guess I'm towing it there.

Thanks again
